Zero Power Rule of Exponents Practice

Question

Math 8 Q1 (Pre-Algebra) / Exponent Rules

Apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents to solve 2.3+(−1.478)^0.(1 point)

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

Applying the Zero Power Rule to solve the expression:

2.3 + (-1.478)^0

Since (-1.478)^0 is equal to 1, we can simplify the expression to:

2.3 + 1

Therefore, 2.3 + (-1.478)^0 equals 3.3.
