Evaluate the expressions.

-3(2/9)^0
(-5)^0

1 answer

To evaluate the expressions:

  1. For \(-3(2/9)^0\):

    • Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.
    • Therefore, \((2/9)^0 = 1\).
    • Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ -3(2/9)^0 = -3 \times 1 = -3 \]
  2. For \((-5)^0\):

    • Similarly, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is also 1.
    • Thus, \((-5)^0 = 1\).

So the evaluated results are:

  • For \(-3(2/9)^0\): \(-3\)
  • For \((-5)^0\): \(1\)
