Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To apply the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents, let's rewrite the expression in exponent form.

2.3 + (-1.478) can be written as 2.3 + (-1.478)^0.

According to the Zero Power Rule of Integer Exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, (-1.478)^0 equals 1.

Now we can simplify the expression:

2.3 + 1 = 3.3

Therefore, 2.3 + (-1.478) equals 3.3.
