Apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents to solve 2.3+(−1.478)0

Question

2.3+(−1.478)^0=

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals 1. Therefore, \((-1.478)^0 = 1\).

Now, we can substitute this value into the expression:

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

Calculating that gives:

\[ 2.3 + 1 = 3.3 \]

So, the final result is:

\[ \boxed{3.3} \]
