Apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents to solve −40⋅15

Question

−4^0 ⋅ 15=

Answer 1

According to the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

Given the expression \(-4^0 \cdot 15\):

1. Evaluate \(-4^0\): \[ -4^0 = -1 \quad (\text{since} \ (-4) \neq 0) \]

2. Now substitute back into the expression: \[ -1 \cdot 15 = -15 \]

Therefore, the answer is: \[ -4^0 \cdot 15 = -15 \]
