failed

Solution Steps

Step 1: Evaluate the exponent

Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore: \[ \left(6 x y^{2}\right)^{0} = 1 \]

Step 2: Multiply by the coefficient

Multiply the result from Step 1 by the coefficient \(-3\): \[ -3 \times 1 = -3 \]

Step 3: Final simplified expression

The expression simplifies to: \[ -3 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{-3}\)
