Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 7/(−5.3)^0+4⋅9 when applying the Zero Power Rule?

1 answer

The Zero Power Rule states that any number (except zero) raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

Since (-5.3)^0 is equal to 1 (according to the Zero Power Rule), we can rewrite the expression 7/(−5.3)^0+4⋅9 as 7/1 + 4⋅9.

Simplifying this expression, we get 7 + 36.

Therefore, an equivalent expression to 7/(−5.3)^0+4⋅9 when applying the Zero Power Rule is 7 + 36.
