Question

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

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

Answer 1

Applying the zero power rule, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. So (-33)^0 equals 1.

Therefore, the expression simplifies to:

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

= 9 + 3/2 (8 - 1)

= 9 + 3/2 (7)

= 9 + 3/2 * 7

= 9 + 3 * 7/2

= 9 + 21/2

= 9 + 10.5

= 19.5
