Negative 8.6 multiplied by 0. Any number multiplied by zero will always be zero, save for infinity which is a special case.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[–8.6=(–8.6)^1\]

OpenStudy (austinl):

Any number to the zeroth power will always be 1. And once again, save for infinity which is a different monster.
