The Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. That is:
\[ a^0 = 1 \quad \text{for } a \neq 0 \]
In your expression, we have \(-4(0)\). Since \(0\) is being raised to any power, and it is the base itself that is zero, we should look at the overall expression.
-
First, simplify \(-4(0)\): \[ -4(0) = 0 \]
-
Now substitute back into your expression: \[ 0 \cdot 15 \]
-
This simplifies to: \[ 0 \]
Thus, the final answer is: \[ −4(0) ⋅ 15 = 0 \]
