Question

Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to 9 * (- 33) ^ 0 + 3/2 * (8 - 27 ^ 0); 9 * (- 33) ^ 0 + 3/2 * (8 - 27 ^ 0) = Box* Box+ 3 2 ( Box- Box)

Answer 1

Applying the Zero Power Rule, any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore, (-33)^0 is equal to 1. Similarly, 27^0 is also equal to 1. Rewriting the expression with these values:

9 * (-33)^0 + (3/2) * (8 - 27^0) = 9 * 1 + (3/2) * (8 - 1) = 9 + (3/2) * 7 = 9 + 21/2.

So, the equivalent expression is: 9 + 21/2.
