Question

How do you write `xy^0` using only positive exponents?

Answer 1

`x(1)=x`

Explanation:

We start with `xy^0`. What this says is, using PEDMAS, "take y to the power of 0, then multiply by x".

So let's do that. Keep in mind that anything to the power of 0 is 1, so:

`y^0=1`

Now let's multiply by x:

`x(1)=x`
