Mr.Walden wrote the expression p^-5/q^0. He asked his students to write an equivalent expression of p^-5/q^0 simplified form. Four students wrote these expressions. Isaac q^0/p^-5 Rosa p^-5+p^0 Bruce p^5q^0 Brianna 1/p^5q^0 Which student is correct? Isaac Rosa Bruce Brianna

Respuesta :

The answer would be 1/p^5q^0 so Brianna is correct. If you took it a step further, the answer would be 1/p^5 because any number (except 0) or variable raised to the zero power is 1.

The correct option is Brianna's equation [tex]\dfrac{1}{p^5q^0}[/tex].

To find the correct simplification of given expression we have to apply negative exponent rule.

Given:

The given expression is [tex]\dfrac{p^{-5}}{q^0}[/tex].

What is negative exponent rule?

The negative exponent can be change in to positive by writing same in denominator and 1 in numerator.

Simplify the given expression.

[tex]\dfrac{p^{-5}}{q^0}=\dfrac{1}{p^5q^0}[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is Brianna's equation [tex]\dfrac{1}{p^5q^0}[/tex].
