Describe how a power with a zero exponent and a power with a negative exponent can be simplified?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
-----> A<span>ny number at all with a 0 exponent is 1; anything with a -ve exponent means "1 over" i.e. 5^-1 means 1/5, 23^-4 means 1/23^4 etc. 



</span>----->A number to the power of zero is always 1 
<span>A number to the power of a negative number such as 2^-4 is always the reciprocal to the power of 4 so 2^-4 is in fact (1/2) ^4 = 1/2^4 </span>

<span>3^-3/4 is (1/3)^3/4 </span>

<span>(4/9)^-3/5 is (9/4)^3/5
</span>

--->Any number with a zero exponent is equal to 1. A number n to the -x is equal to 1/(n^x)<span>



To simplify a negative exponent expression , I attached an example it is easier that way :)


Hope that helps.xoxo

Solve the system using the substitution method<br> 3x-y=4<br> 5x+3y=9
rjkz [21]
First solve the first equation for 'y'
3x - y = 4  subtract 3x from both sides
-y = -3x + 4  divide both sides by -1
y = 3x - 4   Now take this equation and substitute into the second equation:

5x + 3y = 9
5x + 3(3x - 4) = 9
5x + 9x - 12 = 9
14x - 12 = 9
14x = 9 + 12
14x = 21
x = \frac{21}{14} =  \frac{3}{2} or 1.5
Now substitute this value for 'x' into either of the first two equations to find 'y'
I'll use the equation 
y = 3x - 4
y = 3(1.5) - 4
y = 0.5

So your solution is (1.5, 0.5)
