The Zero Power Rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. In this case, since \(1^0\) equals 1, we can substitute that in the expression.
We start with the expression \(4/3(-2 + 1^0)\):
-
Apply the Zero Power Rule: \[ 1^0 = 1 \]
-
Substitute \(1\) back into the expression: \[ 4/3(-2 + 1) \]
Now, you can simplify the expression further:
- Calculate \(-2 + 1\): \(-2 + 1 = -1\)
So, we have an equivalent expression: \[ \frac{4}{3}(-1) \]
The equivalent expression to \(4/3(-2 + 1^0)\) is: \[ 4/3(-2 + 1) \text{ or } 4/3(-1) \]
Thus, the expression can be shown as: \[ 4/3(-2 + ?) \]
For your specific question, you can fill in the blank with \(1\), so: \[ \text{An equivalent expression to } \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1^0) \text{ is } \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1). \]
