The students were asked to find a number that could replace the variable. (X^3)^0 = X^5 * X^N A. Jennifer said the variable shou ldbe replaced by 0. B. John said the variable should be replacd by 1. C. Joe said the variable should be replaced by -5. D. Mary said the question was impossible to answer. Who is Correct. Explain Why
and if [tex]a^n=a^m[/tex] where a=a, then assume that n=m so
[tex](x^3)^0=(x^5)(x^n)[/tex] 1=[tex]x^{5+n}[/tex] we know that x^0=1 therefor [tex]x^0=x^{5+n}[/tex] x^0=x^(5+n) therefor 0=5+n minus 5 from both sides -5=n
