t^2/s^2

Practice makes perfect

To simplify the given exponential expression, we will use the Zero and Negative Exponent Properties. Zero Exponent Property a^0=1, for every nonzero numbera [0.8em] Negative Exponent Property a^(- n)=1/a^n, for every nonzero numbera and integern Let's try to simplify the given expression using these properties.

3^0s^(-2)t^2
3^0 * s^(-2) * t^2
3^0 * 1/s^2 * t^2
1 * 1/s^2 * t^2
t^2/s^2
