Question

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

Answer 1

Applying the zero power rule, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, we can simplify the expression as follows:

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

Since (-33)^0 equals 1, the first term simplifies to:

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

Simplifying further:

9 + 3/2 * 7

Multiplying:

9 + 21/2

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. Converting 9 to a fraction, we have:

18/2 + 21/2

Adding the fractions:

(18 + 21) / 2

Which gives us the final result of:

39/2
