Asked by liam
I dont quite get these 2 questions off of my homework. -
"Complete the equation"
(b^2)^0 = b^8
I keep getting one, but its not an answer choice so I know I'm wrong.
"Simplify the expression"
p(p^-7q^3)^-2q^-3
I think the q's and p's are messing me up.

(b^2)^0 = 1 = b^8
So, b = 1 or -1
Just use the rules of exponents as usual. Negative values are still just numbers!
p(p^-7q^3)^-2q^-3
= p * (p^-7 q^3)^-2 * q^-3
= p * p^14 q^-6 * q^-3
= p^15 q^-9
