1. The problem is to simplify the expression $$3x^0 y^5$$ so that all exponents are positive. 2. Recall the rules of exponents: - Any number raised to the zero power is 1, so $$x^0 = 1$$. - When dividing exponents with the same base, subtract the exponents. 3. Simplify the expression step-by-step: $$3x^0 y^5 = 3 \times 1 \times y^5 = 3y^5$$ 4. The expression $$x^1 y^{5/5}$$ simplifies as follows: $$x^1 = x$$ $$y^{5/5} = y^1 = y$$ 5. So, $$x^1 y^{5/5} = xy$$. 6. The original expression $$3x^0 y^5$$ simplifies to $$3y^5$$, which is not equal to $$xy$$. 7. Therefore, the simplified form of $$3x^0 y^5$$ with positive exponents is: $$3y^5$$
