I cannot get the code to work for this question

the code I have written is

$('.profile-header').hide();

and I get a XBummer message

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header">Student <span>Profile</span></h1>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
document.querySelector('.profile-header').style.display = 'none';
$(".profile-header").hide();

I have tried both ('.profile-header') and (".profile-header") and neither works

Adam - accept a “thank you” best answer and let it be. My error was in tagging me for best answer rather than you. I am so new at coding i am ground zero. You kindly helped me out and I appreciate it. Now how about you refrain from beating me up.

Hihihi. Sorry, I was surprised. It was just strange the situation. Your solution was good, the task was not clear and you didn't know that the first line should be deleted. I hope I didn't hurt you. The way you go is good, don't give up! If you have any questions, don't hesitate, we will help! Good evening and happy coding! :)
