$\large\rm m^3\color{orangered}{n^{-6}}\color{royalblue}{p^0}$To deal with the orange part, we'll use this rule:$\large\rm \color{orangered}{x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}}$We flip it! And the exponent becomes positive. Do deal with the blue part, Anything to the 0 power is 1. You can think of it like... p^1 is p. So p^0 is dividing p by itself.

$\large\rm m^3\color{orangered}{n^{-6}}\color{royalblue}{p^0}=m^3\color{orangered}{n^{-6}}\color{royalblue}{1}$So that rule takes care of the blue part. Do you understand how the orange rule helps us? :D

I'm lost.. I seriously suck at algebra. I've been stuck on this question for 7 months

4. zepdrix

7 months?? 0_o oh boy

Anyway, exponent rule tells us to flip it, and change the exponent to positive,$\large\rm m^3\color{orangered}{n^{-6}}\color{royalblue}{p^0}=m^3\color{orangered}{\frac{1}{n^6}}\color{royalblue}{1}$

Hold up. M^3 N^-6 P^0 M^3 x 1/n^6 =m^3/n^6

What now o.o

8. zepdrix

nothing else :o

You mean.... I'm finally done O.O
