Help with Math!

I need some help with some math. Fkin tutorvista doesn't let you do the demo anymore. Damn them. So this is my last resort.

It's something about monomials. I fucked off in class and didn't listen so can you explain how you got the answer. You will be my hero.

Heres the problem.

Im pretty sure you are simplifying the monomials; so here it is.



1. Anything to the power of 0 is 1; so I rewrote y^0.

2. Anytime you have 2 of the same terms, whether same exponent or not, you add the exponents.

3. If the exponent is a negative value, put it under 1 in fraction form.

Done.

OK so I see. But I don't get why you took away the 1. I know you took away the negative on the exponent and put a 1 on top but what happened to the 1 in the middle? Does it just disappear?

Well, anything multiplied by 1 is the value itself.

You dont write 3x in the format of 1(3x) because it will still equal 3x.

Or 2 in the form of 1(2) because it will equal 2. So 1 is there, but no one writes it because its unnecessary.

The Triforce dot looking sign just means "Therefore"

Since + Therefore
