Question 466787
it looks to me like your equation would be:
{{{((((4a^(-5))*(b^5)))/((12a^3)*(b^-5)))^0)}}}
anything to the 0 power is equal to 1, so the whole thing should reduce to be equal to 1.
you can go through the exercise of simplifying the expression, but if the whole thing is raised to the 0 power, then the answer has to be 1.
i show the reduced formula to be equal to:
{{{((b^10)/(3a^8))^0}}}
if you follow the rules of exponentiation through, this becomes:
{{{b^(10*0)/(3^0*a^(8*0))}}} which becomes:
{{{b^0/(3^0*a^0)}}} which becomes:
{{{1/(1*1)}}} which becomes:
{{{1/1}}} which becomes:
1.
