Question

Apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents to solve −4^(0)⋅15
.(1 point)

Answer 1

Use the zero–power rule: a^0 = 1 for a ≠ 0. So 4^0 = 1, hence −4^0 = −1. Then −1 · 15 = −15.

(If the base were written with parentheses as (−4)^0, that would be 1·15 = 15, but −4^0 without parentheses means −(4^0).)
