Julio says if 3^-7 x 3^7 =1 then 3^0 = one. Explain why Julio’s statement is true in complete sentences using appropriate math vocabulary. (8 points)

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

When exponents with the same base are multiplied, they are added to each other. When they are divided, they are subtracted from each other. In this case, since we are multiplying, we are adding the exponents -7 and 7 to get 0 and the new result is 3^0 which is one.
