Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to simplify the expression (z−(1)/(3))/(z−(5)/(6)). This involves the division of two powers with the same base but different exponents.
Apply quotient rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.The quotient rule states that when dividing two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents: am/an=a(m−n).
Subtract exponents: Subtract the exponents.We have z−(1)/(3)/z−(5)/(6). According to the quotient rule, we subtract the exponents: (−(1)/(3))−(−(5)/(6)).
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction.Subtract the exponents: (−31)−(−65)=(−31)+65=62−31=62−62=0.
Apply to base: Apply the result of the subtraction to the base.Since the result of the exponent subtraction is 0, we have z0.
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression.Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, z0=1.
