The Zero Power Rule states that any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Applying this rule to the given expression, we have:
9 * (-33)^0 + (3/2) * (8 - 27^0)
Since any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, (-33)^0 is equal to 1, and 27^0 is also equal to 1.
Therefore, the expression simplifies to:
9 * 1 + (3/2) * (8 - 1)
The parentheses can be simplified:
9 + (3/2) * 7
Now, we can multiply:
9 + 21/2
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator:
(18/2) + (21/2) = 39/2
So, the equivalent expression is 39/2.
