Zero Power Rule of Exponents Practice
Math 8 Q1 (Pre-Algebra) / Exponent Rules
Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to 4/3 (−2+1^0) . (1 point)
The Zero Power Rule states that any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.
Therefore, 1^0 is equal to 1.
Using the Zero Power Rule, the expression 4/3 (−2+1^0) can be simplified to 4/3 (−2+1).
This is because 1^0 is equal to 1.
To apply the Zero Power Rule, we need to simplify the expression 1^0. According to the Zero Power Rule, any number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.
So, replacing 1^0 with 1, we have:
4/3 * (-2 + 1)
Simplifying further:
4/3 * (-1)
Multiplying the fractions:
-4/3
Therefore, the equivalent expression to 4/3 * (-2+1^0) is -4/3.
