Apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents to solve 2.3+(−1.478)^0

Question

.(1 point)
2.3+(−1.478)^0=
 

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals 1. Therefore, \((-1.478)^0 = 1\).

Now, we can substitute this back into the original expression:

\[ 2.3 + (-1.478)^0 = 2.3 + 1 \]

Now add the numbers together:

\[ 2.3 + 1 = 3.3 \]

So the final answer is:

\[ 2.3 + (-1.478)^0 = 3.3 \]
