Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to 9⋅(−33)0+32(8−270).(2 points)9⋅(−33)0+32(8−270) = ⋅ +32( – )

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 9 \cdot (-33)^0 + 32(8 - 270) \) using the Zero Power Rule, we first need to apply the rule: any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

  1. Calculate \( (-33)^0 \): \[ (-33)^0 = 1 \]

  2. Substitute \( (-33)^0 \) with 1 in the expression: \[ 9 \cdot (-33)^0 + 32(8 - 270) = 9 \cdot 1 + 32(8 - 270) \]

  3. Simplify \( 9 \cdot 1 \): \[ 9 + 32(8 - 270) \]

  4. Now, calculate \( 8 - 270 \): \[ 8 - 270 = -262 \]

  5. Substitute \( -262 \) back into the expression: \[ 9 + 32(-262) \]

  6. Finally, the expression simplifies to: \[ 9 - 32 \cdot 262 \]

Writing it in the desired format: \[ 9 \cdot (1) + 32( -262) \]

So, the equivalent expression is: \[ 9 + 32( -262) \]
