Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to 4/3(−2+1^0)

.(1 point)
An equivalent expression to 4/3(−2+1^0)
is 4/3(−2+___).

1 answer

To apply the Zero Power Rule, we recognize that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Thus, \(1^0 = 1\).

Now, let's apply this to the expression given:

\[ 4/3(-2 + 1^0) \]

Substituting \(1^0\) with 1, we have:

\[ 4/3(-2 + 1) \]

Now, calculate \(-2 + 1\):

\[ -2 + 1 = -1 \]

So, the expression simplifies to:

\[ 4/3(-1) \]

In your format, that means we can write:

\[ 4/3(-2 + 1^0) \text{ is equivalent to } 4/3(-2 + ___) \text{ where the blank is } 1. \]

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

\[ 4/3(-2 + 1) \]

The answer to fill in the blank is 1.
