To apply the Zero Power Rule to the expression \( \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1^0) \), we need to evaluate \( 1^0 \).

According to the Zero Power Rule, any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals 1. Therefore:

\[ 1^0 = 1. \]

Now substituting \( 1^0 \) back into the expression:

\[ \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1) = \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1). \]

Now we can simplify:

\[ -2 + 1 = -1. \]

Thus, the expression can be simplified to:

\[ \frac{4}{3}(-1). \]

Therefore, an equivalent expression to \( \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1^0) \) is:

\[ -\frac{4}{3}. \]

In simplified form without the numerical constant, it shows that the answer can still be interpreted as:

\[ \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1^0) = \frac{4}{3}(-2 + 1) = \frac{4}{3}(-1). \]

So, an equivalent expression focusing on the initial query might also state:

\[ \frac{4}{3}(-2 + \textbf{1}). \]
