Zero Power Rule of Exponents Practice

Question

Math 8 Q1 (Pre-Algebra) / Exponent Rules

Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to 4/3 (−2+1^0) . (1 point)

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule states that any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

Therefore, 1^0 is equal to 1.

Using the Zero Power Rule, the expression 4/3 (−2+1^0) can be simplified to 4/3 (−2+1).

This is because 1^0 is equal to 1.
