apply the zero power rule to create an equivalent expression to

Question

(-40)^0+1/2(11-32^0)

Answer 1

To apply the zero power rule, we know that any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, we can simplify the expression as follows:

(-40)^0 + 1/2(11 - 32^0)
= 1 + 1/2(11 - 1)
= 1 + 1/2(10)
= 1 + 1/2 * 10
= 1 + 5
= 6

Therefore, the equivalent expression is 6.
