Given


-6y^0\text{ and \lparen-6y\rparen}^0

The solutions can be seen below.

Step-by-step explanation


\begin{gathered} a)\text{ }-6y^0=-6* y^0=-6*1=-6 \\ b)\text{ }(-6y)^0=1 \end{gathered}

In "a," only the y-value is raised to the power of 1 hence, the reason why y^0 became 1 which then multiplies -6 to get -6. However, in "b", the entire expression is raised to the power of zero, which will then give 1 as the answer.
