Remember, a number to the negative power means 1 divided by (over) the number to that power.
Thus, we now have:
[tex] 6^{0} + \frac{1}{ 6^{2} } [/tex]
Now, also remember a number to the zero power is equal to 1, no matter what.
Thus:
[tex]1+ \frac{1}{36} [/tex]
Convert 1 into 36/36.
[tex] \frac{36}{36} + \frac{1}{36} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{37}{36} [/tex]
You can also write it as 1.027 and [tex]1 \frac{1}{36} [/tex].
