SIMPLIFY THE EXPONENTIAL ESPRESSION...HELP:( X^10 y^0
\(y^0=1\)
X^10
because like satellite posted. y^0=1
sorry to be complicated but, how do you solve it?
\[y^0=1\] \[x^{10} \times 1=?\]
x^10?
okay thankyou!
yes. you're welcome.
so would (-12x8y/678xy)^0 =1?
yes.
anything to the exponent of 0 equals 1
okay so how about..... 9x^-2y^8
what's the exponent of 9x? is it the whole (-2y^8)?
the exponent of 9x is -2
it would equal \[9y^8 \over x^2\]
because usually you don't leave negative exponents as the answer. To make it positive, you make the unknown the denominator and it becomes positive.
okay so 9x^-2 would be simplified to what? because i know you have to make it a positive number and then multiply it with y^8
Here's a link you can check out. http://www.purplemath.com/modules/exponent2.htm
\[9y^8 \over x^2\] That's the answer. Read the link for a more detailed explanation.
ok thankyou!!!!
You're welcome!
sorry to keep bothering you but what about (-5x^5y^-6)(2x^-1y)
you have to multiply them.
