Simplify h^2(h^7)^0

$h^{2} {(h^{7})}^{0}$

Step 1

Multiply the exponents in ${(h^{7})}^{0}$ .

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$h^{2} h^{7 \cdot 0}$

Multiply $7$ by $0$ .

$h^{2} h^{0}$

Step 2

Multiply $h^{2}$ by $h^{0}$ by adding the exponents.

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$h^{2 + 0}$

Add $2$ and $0$ .

$h^{2}$
