Simplify a^0b^-2c

$a^{0} b^{- 2} c$

Step 1

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$1 b^{- 2} c$

Step 2

Multiply $b^{- 2}$ by $1$ .

$b^{- 2} c$

Step 3

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{b^{2}} c$

Step 4

Combine $\frac{1}{b^{2}}$ and $c$ .

$\frac{c}{b^{2}}$
