Zero Power Rule of Exponents Practice
Math 8 Q1 (Pre-Algebra) / Exponent Rules
Apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents to solve 2.3 + (−1.478)^0 .(1 point)
According to the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Hence,
(-1.478)^0 = 1
Therefore, 2.3 + (-1.478)^0 = 2.3 + 1 = 3.3
To apply the Zero Power Rule of Exponents, any nonzero number raised to the power of zero equals 1.
In the given expression, we have (-1.478)^0. According to the Zero Power Rule, this term will be equal to 1.
So, the expression simplifies to:
2.3 + 1 = 3.3.
Therefore, the answer is 3.3.
