Question

Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 7/(−5.3)^0+4⋅9 when applying the Zero Power Rule? (1 point)
Responses

7/5.30+36

7/5.3+4⋅9

7/0+4⋅9

7/1+4⋅9

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

Therefore, when applying the Zero Power Rule to the expression 7/(−5.3)^0+4⋅9, we can simplify it to:

7/1 + 4⋅9

This can further be simplified as:

7 + 36

So, the equivalent expression is: 7 + 36
