Question

PLZ HELP I NEED IN 5 MINS

Simplify each expression. Your answer should contain only positive exponents.
a ) −16^0
b )m^3n^−9

Answer 1

a) -1

For b), I’m not 100% sure on my answer for it, but I would probably guess that it is m^3/n^9

Hope I helped! Ha

Answer 2

a) Any number to the 0 power equals 1, but since the base is negative and not in parentheses, it will be -1.

b) This is the same as
`m^(3) * (1)/(n^(9) )` (negative exponents go to the denominator) which simplifies to
`(m^(3) )/(n^(9) )`.

Hope this helps!!
