Question

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

Answer 1

remember
x^0=1

also
$(x^n)(x^m)=x^{n+m}$

and
if $a^n=a^m$ where a=a, then assume that n=m
so

$(x^3)^0=(x^5)(x^n)$
1=$x^{5+n}$
we know that x^0=1
therefor
$x^0=x^{5+n}$
x^0=x^(5+n) therefor
0=5+n
minus 5 from both sides
-5=n

I can't solve for x since it will be eliminated


n=-5

Joes is correct because of maths
