Evaluate the expressions. ​

Answer 1

1, -1

Explanation:

(-2/3)⁰

Anything that is raised to the power of 0 automatically becomes the value 1. Knowing this, apply the exponent.

(-2/3)⁰ = 1

-(7)⁰

Now using what we know, apply the exponent to the 7.

-(7)⁰ = -1

Notice that the negative is NOT inside the parenthesis and therefore does NOT get affected by the power.
