The Zero Power Rule states that any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, applying the Zero Power Rule, the expression 7/(−5.3)^0 becomes 7/1.
The expression 4 x 9 does not involve any powers or exponents, so it remains the same.
Therefore, the equivalent expression is 7/1 + 4 x 9.
Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 7/(−5.3)^0 + 4 x 9 when applying the Zero Power Rule?
