Apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents to solve 2.3+(−1.478)0 .

Answer 1

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

In the expression \(2.3 + (-1.478)^0\):

1. First, apply the Zero Power Rule to \((-1.478)^0\): \[ (-1.478)^0 = 1 \]

2. Now substitute this back into the original expression: \[ 2.3 + (-1.478)^0 = 2.3 + 1 \]

3. Finally, perform the addition: \[ 2.3 + 1 = 3.3 \]

So, the final answer is \(\boxed{3.3}\).
