The parentheses/grouping symbols in the expression as you show it are not balanced, so it is impossible to know what the expression really is.

0 is the correct answer with one interpretation of the expression; if you are sure that answer is wrong, then you might be evaluating the wrong expression.

Re-post, making sure you are showing the expression correctly.
