Question

apply the zero power rule to create an equivalent expression to 4/3 (-2+1 to the power of 0)

Answer 1

According to the zero power rule, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

In the expression \( -2 + 1 \), when we calculate this, we get:

\[
-2 + 1 = -1
\]

Now, applying the zero power rule:

\[
(-1)^0 = 1
\]

Now we substitute this back into your original expression:

\[
\frac{4}{3} (-2 + 1)^0 = \frac{4}{3} \times 1 = \frac{4}{3}
\]

So, the equivalent expression is:

\[
\frac{4}{3}
\]
