The largest degree of x that can be factored out of all terms 9x and 45 is 0
What are some basic properties of exponentiation?
If we have [tex]a^b[/tex] then 'a' is called base and 'b' is called power or exponent and we call it "a is raised to the power b" (this statement might change from text to text slightly).
Exponentiation(the process of raising some number to some power) have some basic rules as:
[tex]a^{-b} = \dfrac{1}{a^b}\\\\a^0 = 1 (a \neq 0)\\\\a^1 = a\\\\(a^b)^c = a^{b \times c}\\\\ a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c} \\\\^n\sqrt{a} = a^{1/n} \\\\(ab)^c = a^c \times b^c\\\\a^b = a^b \implies b= c \: \text{ (if a, b and c are real numbers and } a \neq 1 \: and \: a \neq -1 )[/tex]
How can we rewrite a constant as a coefficient?
Suppose there is a constant 'c'.
We can write it as:
[tex]c = c \times 1 = c \times x^0[/tex]
where 'x' is the variable in consideration. Here even when x = 0, we would assume that for all real numbers 'x', its power raised to 0 makes it evaluate to 1.
For this case, we can rewrite both the terms as:
- [tex]9x = 9x\times 1 = 9x \times x^0[/tex]
- [tex]45 = 45 \times 1 = 45 \times x^0[/tex]
Thus, the maximum of x that can come out common out of these two terms is [tex]x^0[/tex] (its degree, or power, or exponent is 0)
Thus, the largest degree of x that can be factored out of all terms 9x and 45 is 0
