Answer
The value of \((-9)^{0}\) is 1.
1Step 1: Identify the exponent
In this expression, we have (-9) raised to the power 0. The 0 is our exponent.
2Step 2: Apply rule of exponents
We apply the rule that anything (except zero) raised to the power of 0 is 1.
3Step 3: Evaluate the expression
Applying this rule, we find that \((-9)^{0}\) is equal to 1.
