Evaluate the expressions.
2(-3/5)^0=□
-(8)^0=□

Transcript text: Evaluate the expressions. \[ \begin{array}{r} 2\left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{0}=\square \\ -(8)^{0}=\square \end{array} \]

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Evaluate the expression of the form (-a)^n

Since n is even, (-a)^{n} becomes a^{n} = 1.

Step 2: Evaluate the expression of the form -a^n

Since n = 0, -a^{0} is always -1, regardless of a.

Final Answer:

For (-a)^{n}, the result is 1. For -a^{n}, the result is -1.
