45

Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the given expression for x = 2 and y = - 3, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible.

5x^0/y^(- 2)
5 * x^0 * 1/y^(- 2)
5 * ( 2)^0 * 1/( - 3)^(- 2)
â–¼
Simplify
5 * 1 * 1/(-3)^(-2)
5 * 1 * (-3)^(-(-2))
5 * 1 * (-3)^2
5 * 1 * 3^2
5 * 1 * 9
