(-9x^2y^3)^0=1? is the answer 1 because anything raised to the 0 power is 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aye

hero (hero):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok great

OpenStudy (turingtest):

not true if x or y are zero!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean, like if it is -9x^0?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no, I mean\[0^0\neq1\]and the expression becomes zero to the zero if x and/or y are zero

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[a^0=1\text{ for all }a\neq0\]because\[0^0\]is undefined (has no specific meaning)
