To apply the Zero Power Rule, we must remember that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore, \( 1^0 = 1 \).
We can substitute \( 1^0 \) with 1 in the original expression:
\[ 4/3(-2 + 1^0) = 4/3(-2 + 1) \]
Now, we can simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
\[ -2 + 1 = -1 \]
So now the expression becomes:
\[ 4/3(-1) \]
We put this back into the original format you requested:
An equivalent expression to \( \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1^0) \) is:
\[ \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1) \]
Thus, filling in the blank as requested gives:
An equivalent expression to \( \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1^0) \) is \( \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1) \).
