7! bam done next question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did u get it?
OpenStudy (camper4834):
do you know the answer to (a;lskdjf;laksfjkj)^0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes its 0
OpenStudy (camper4834):
or how about (beep boop)^0

zero
OpenStudy (camper4834):
it is not 0
OpenStudy (camper4834):
anything raised to the ZERO is one!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahh ok
OpenStudy (camper4834):
so 3 times one is 3 and four times 1 is four

OpenStudy (camper4834):
add em together and you get 7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahh ok tnx. how about this problem. (3y²)^-5
OpenStudy (camper4834):
could you write it again. there are questionmarks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(3y²) raised to -5
OpenStudy (camper4834):
everything after 3y is messed up

OpenStudy (anonymous):
its raised to 2
OpenStudy (camper4834):
\[(3y^2)^{-5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (camper4834):
or is it \[((3y)^2)^{-5}\] the difference is very important
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope. the first one is correct :)

okay so since your exponent is a negative number (-5) there is a little trick to get your answer
OpenStudy (camper4834):
take off the negative and then put your answer under a 1!
OpenStudy (camper4834):
do you get it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont get it :/

lets start with the first step. take the minus sign off your exponent
\[(3y^2)^{-5}\]
OpenStudy (camper4834):
now it is \[(3y^2)^5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.
OpenStudy (camper4834):
next we take that and put it under a one
\[\frac{ 1 }{ (3y^2)^5 }\]
OpenStudy (camper4834):
every time your exponent is a negative number you MUST do those two steps

ok. :)
OpenStudy (camper4834):
one last thing
OpenStudy (camper4834):
the 5 can go inside the parenthases
the 5 goes to the 3 and it goes to the y^2
OpenStudy (camper4834):
\[3^5y^{2*5} = 3^5y^{10}\]
OpenStudy (camper4834):
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3^5y^{10} }\]

will I simplify the 3^5?
OpenStudy (camper4834):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 243?
OpenStudy (camper4834):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the final answer?

OpenStudy (camper4834):
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 243y^{10} }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
last one how about if the problem is this? \[3n^-3 / (2m^5)^-1\]
OpenStudy (camper4834):
Lol computer is doing update,
OpenStudy (camper4834):
Okay one step at a time 3/(n^3) divided by 1/(2m^5)
OpenStudy (camper4834):
We change that to 3/(n^3) multiplied by 2m^5

OpenStudy (camper4834):
(6m^5)/(n^3)
OpenStudy (camper4834):
Final answer done
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahh. ok thank you so so so much Camper! It really helped :D
OpenStudy (camper4834):
You don't have to answer as you probably shouldn't answer strange questions to strange people. But what grade are you in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Grade 9

Man we learned about exponents in freshman year? Thats crazy
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Im not really good in Math :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
especially when the teacher is keep on giving us homeworks without explaining what to do,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, thank u so much for the help! :D
