To apply the Zero Power Rule, we need to recognize that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. In your expression, we have \( 1^0 \).

Calculating \( 1^0 \):

\[ 1^0 = 1 \]

Now, we can substitute \( 1 \) for \( 1^0 \) in the original expression:

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

Now, simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:

\[ -2 + 1 = -1 \]

So now we have:

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

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

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

Thus, the blank can be filled with \( 1 \).

The equivalent expression, with the zero power applied, is:

\(\frac{4}{3}(-2 + \underline{1})\).
