Question from ashley, a student: Simplify this expression (2b^-1c^3)^3 (b^4c^-2)^0 Please help me. I not sure about the zero on the outside of parentheses. Thanks |
Hi Ashley,
A non-zero number raised to the power zero is 1 so (b4c-2)0 = 1 and hence your problem simplifies to
(2b-1c3)3
Can you finish it?
If you need more assistance write back,
Penny
