Apply the Power of Zero Rule of Exponents to simplify −4^0x^2y^0z^5 .(1 point)

1 answer

According to the power of zero rule of exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Additionally, any variable raised to the power of zero is also equal to 1, except for 0 itself.

In this case, we have:

−4^0x^2y^0z^5

Since -4^0 is equal to 1, and y^0 is also equal to 1, we can simplify the expression to:

1 * x^2 * 1 * z^5

Which further simplifies to:

x^2 * z^5

So, the simplified expression is x^2z^5.
