Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals 1. Therefore, we have:

\[ (-1.478)^0 = 1 \]

Now we can substitute this back into the expression:

\[ 2.3 + (-1.478)^0 = 2.3 + 1 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ 2.3 + 1 = 3.3 \]

Thus, the final result is:

\[ \boxed{3.3} \]
