Question

apply the zero power of rule of integer exponents to solve 2.3 + (-1.478) to the power of 0

Answer 1

Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Thus, \((-1.478)^0\) equals 1, regardless of the base (as long as it's not zero).

Now, we can solve the expression \(2.3 + (-1.478)^0\):

1. Calculate \((-1.478)^0\):
\[
(-1.478)^0 = 1
\]

2. Now substitute back into the expression:
\[
2.3 + 1
\]

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

So, the result of \(2.3 + (-1.478)^0\) is \(3.3\).
