Question

Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to 4/3 (-2+1 with an exponent of 0).

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule states that any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore, for the expression you provided, we have:

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

Since \(-2 + 1 = -1\), we can rewrite the expression as:

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

Now, applying the Zero Power Rule, we get:

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

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

\[
4/3 \times 1 = \frac{4}{3}
\]

So, the equivalent expression is:

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