You can put this solution on YOUR website!
[(-b^(-2))(c)]^0 / [8(a^(-1))(c^2)]
:
Assume you mean:
%28%28-b%5E-2%29c%29%5E0+%2F+%288%28a%5E-1%29c%5E2%29
:
Any number or expression to 0 power is 1 so we have:
1+%2F+%288%28a%5E-1%29c%5E2%29
:
An exponent of -1 means the reciprocal so we have:
a+%2F+%288c%5E2%29
