Transcript text: Simplify the expression using the properties of exponents. Expand any numerical portion of your answer and only include positive exponents.
\[
-3\left(6 x y^{2}\right)^{0}
\]
Answer
Solution
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 \(-3\):
\[
-3 \times 1 = -3
\]
