Evaluate.

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \((-2)^0 - (4)^0\), we need to remember that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

So we have:

\[
(-2)^0 = 1
\]
\[
(4)^0 = 1
\]

Now substituting these values back into the expression:

\[
(-2)^0 - (4)^0 = 1 - 1 = 0
\]

Therefore, the final result is:

\[
\boxed{0}
\]
