1. The problem asks to evaluate the expression $ (m + 2)^0 $ where $ m $ is a positive integer.
2. The key rule here is the zero exponent rule: For any nonzero number $ a $, $ a^0 = 1 $.
3. Since $ m $ is a positive integer, $ m + 2 $ is also positive and definitely not zero.
4. Applying the zero exponent rule, we get:
$$ (m + 2)^0 = 1 $$
5. This means no matter what positive integer $ m $ is, the expression always equals 1.
6. This is because raising any nonzero number to the zero power results in 1 by definition in algebra.
Final answer: $ 1 $
Zero Exponent B900B2
