No, the expressions (-3)⁰ and -3⁰ do not have the same value.
(-3)⁰ represents raising -3 to the power of 0, which results in 1 since any number raised to the power of 0 is always 1.
-3⁰, on the other hand, can be interpreted as -1 times 3 to the power of 0, which simplifies to -1 times 1, giving a value of -1.
Therefore, (-3)⁰ and -3⁰ have different values.
