simplify (-1g8h5k2)0(hk2)2 what makes this equation 0 confuse? thnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure what the equation is. Could you use the equation editor at the bottom left of the reply box to write it more clearly?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \large (-1g^8h^5k^2)^0(hk^2)^2\ \ \ ?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(-4g ^8h ^5k ^2)^0(hk ^2)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anything to a 0 power equals 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what makes the answer 0 confused help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\((-4g ^8h ^5k ^2)^0(hk ^2)^2\) = \(1 \times (hk ^2)^2\) And since anything multiplied by 1 is itself.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

what makes you think is 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It shouldn't be 0. That is not the correct answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought so I think the answer is -4g^8h^5K2 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is the answer \[h ^{2}k ^{4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's exactly it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(h^2k^4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx your awesome :)
