Problem 10
Question
Evaluate each exponential expression. $$ -9^{0} $$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
-1
1Step 1: Understanding the problem
We are given an expression \(-9^{0}\). When any number is raised to the power of 0, the result is 1. However, the number provided here is \(-9\), which includes a negative sign, so the negative sign has to be carried along.
2Step 2: Apply the rule
We apply the zero exponent rule to evaluate the expression, remembering to account for the negative sign in front of the base. Thus, \(-9^{0} = -1\).
