Algebra Level 1

Find the value of:

$x\quad =\quad \frac { \frac { \sqrt [ 3 ]{ a } }{ { a }^{ 2 } } }{ \frac { 1 }{ 4a } } \quad -\quad 1\\ \\ \\ \\ y\quad =\quad \frac { \frac { \sqrt [ 3 ]{ x } \quad +\quad 1 }{ { x }\quad +\quad 1 } }{ \frac { x }{ 1 } \quad +\quad 1 } \quad +\quad 1$

If a = 8.

Then what is ${ |-x-y| }^{ 0 }$

2 0 -2 1

ANY NUMBER TO THE POWER OF ZERO IS 1

Fox, we need to exempt 0.

$n^0 = 1$

Since this equation always holds true

$|-x - y |^0 = 1$

Did you answer it in seconds eh?

I'd say it took me between $3$ to $5$ seconds to notice it and around $1$ second to find and click the answer. So yes.

Ah... As what I've expected. Thanks for the reply.

Any number that would have an exponent of 0 will be equal to 1. Don't believe in me? Then search laws of exponents on the internet or books. There you will find.
