Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression \(\frac{10^0 r^{-11} s}{3^2}\).

Solution

The given expression is:

100r11s32\frac{10^0 r^{-11} s}{3^2}

We can simplify this step by step:

  1. Simplify 10010^0: Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so 100=110^0 = 1.

    This changes the expression to:

    1r11s32\frac{1 \cdot r^{-11} s}{3^2}

  2. Simplify 323^2: 32=93^2 = 9.

    Now the expression becomes:

    r11s9\frac{r^{-11} s}{9}

  3. Interpret r11r^{-11}: A negative exponent means the reciprocal, so r11=1r11r^{-11} = \frac{1}{r^{11}}.
