To apply the Zero Power Rule, we need to recall that any number (except zero) raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore, we will replace any occurrence of a non-zero number raised to the power of zero with 1 in the given expression.
Let's start by rewriting the expression:
9 * (-33)^0 + 3/2 * (8 - 27^0)
First, let's focus on the term (-33)^0. According to the Zero Power Rule, any number (except zero) raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. So we can replace (-33)^0 with 1:
9 * 1 + 3/2 * (8 - 27^0)
Simplifying further:
9 + 3/2 * (8 - 1)
Inside the brackets, we have 8 - 1, which is equal to 7:
9 + 3/2 * 7
Now, let's calculate 3/2 * 7:
(3 * 7) / 2 = 21 / 2 = 10.5
Finally, we add 9 to 10.5:
9 + 10.5 = 19.5
Therefore, the equivalent expression to 9 * (-33)^0 + 3/2 * (8 - 27^0) is 19.5.
