I want to make sure if im right and to know what is the y exponent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 1 or 0..?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in the denominator, what is the exponent for y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it -26 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but u subtract them i get nothing...so my answer would be 0 right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes because -26 - (-26) = -26 + 26 = 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you may be thinking of y^0 = 1 which is where you're getting 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see thats what confuse me so y^0 = 1... when it ask me what is the sponent for y? would be 1 cause y^01

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no it would be 0 because that is the exponent for y when you fully simplify everything

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it just turns out that y^0 = 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it's like the y terms go away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok in reality would look like thi x^33 and no y at all...ok i see jejej Thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct
