Question

Please help on this: ^ means exponent

Simplify 48y^6z^0
___________
-8y^6 z^2

Answer 1

In my text book because these are practice questions it says in the question that we assume the denominator is not equal to zero

Answer 2

You need to post your formula more accurately. I assume this is what you mean:

(48y^6)(z^0)/(8y^6)(z^2)

Any term to the zero power = 1. The two y^6 will cancel each other out.

48/8z^2 = 6/z^2
