@BloomLocke367 @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

do you know how to begin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really @BloomLocke367

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Okay... well you're going to want to first distribute the ^2 to each of the terms inside of the parantheses.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

do you understand what I mean by that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

okay. so what do you get after you distribute the ^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

ok, do we know what \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm a}^0 }\) is? (for any real number 'a' )

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and do we know why?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

I was getting ready to explain that @SolomonZelman lol. beat me to the punch XD

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \color{darkviolet}{\rm a}^0 = \color{darkviolet}{\rm a } ^{ \color{red}{\rm b}-\color{red}{\rm b} }}\) do you agree with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

something is going with my codes give me a sec

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \color{darkviolet}{\rm a}^{\color{red}{\rm b-b}}=\frac{\color{darkviolet}{\rm a}^{\color{red}{\rm b}} }{\color{darkviolet}{\rm a}^{\color{red}{\rm b}}} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and that is equivalent to 1, because `(anything) / (anything) = 1`

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

saying when this anything is same, just like in a^b case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its b

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \left(\color{darkviolet}{\rm a}^{\color{red}{\rm b}}\right)^{\color{blue }{c}}=\color{darkviolet}{\rm a}^{(\color{red}{\rm b}\times \color{blue }{c})} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes A is the most accurately done answer.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would not really call it correct, if 2^3 times 1= 2^3 and we don't need to write out 2^3 times 1^2, but yes, A is the correct option as far as this question is concerned.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @SolomonZelman
