Question
Apply the zero power rule to create an equivalent expression to 9 • (-33)^0 + 3/2(8 - 27^0)
Answers
GPT 3.5
According to the zero power rule, any number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.
Using this rule, we can simplify the expression:
9 • (-33)^0 + 3/2(8 - 27^0)
= 9 • 1 + 3/2(8 - 1)
= 9 + 3/2(7)
= 9 + (3/2)(7)
= 9 + 21/2
= 9 + 10.5
= 19.5
So, the equivalent expression is 19.5.
Using this rule, we can simplify the expression:
9 • (-33)^0 + 3/2(8 - 27^0)
= 9 • 1 + 3/2(8 - 1)
= 9 + 3/2(7)
= 9 + (3/2)(7)
= 9 + 21/2
= 9 + 10.5
= 19.5
So, the equivalent expression is 19.5.
