You can put this solution on YOUR website! why does (x+y)^0 equal 1? isn't 1+1?
-----
Answer:
x/x = 1 as long as x is not zero
----
x^1/x^1 = x^(1-1) = x^0
------
Therefore x/x = 1 = x^0
============================
Now "x" can be anything.
It could be "(x+y}"
So (x+y)/(x+y) = 1 = (x+y)^0
==================================
Note: (x+y) cannot be zero.
==================================

One important rule about exponents is like this:
If m and n are integers, then .
You will plainly know that if m=n, then .
