Question

Apply the zero power rule to create an equivalent expression to 9x(-33)^0 +3/2(8-27^O)

Answer 1

To apply the zero power rule, any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1.

In the given expression:

9x(-33)^0 + (3/2)(8-27^0)

The term (-33)^0 becomes 1:

9x(1) + (3/2)(8-1)

Simplifying further:

9x + (3/2)(7)

The equivalent expression is 9x + 10.5 or 9x + 21/2.
