Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to:

Question

9*(-33)^0+3/2(8-27^0)

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule states that any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

Using this rule, the expression can be simplified as follows:

9 * (-33)^0 + 3/2 * (8 - 27^0)
= 9 * 1 + 3/2 * (8 - 1)
= 9 + 3/2 * 7
= 9 + 21/2
= 18/2 + 21/2
= 39/2

Therefore, the equivalent expression is 39/2.
