Examples with solutions for Powers of a Fraction: Calculating powers with negative exponents

Exercise #1

(23)−4=? (\frac{2}{3})^{-4}=\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula:

(ab)−n=(ba)n (\frac{a}{b})^{-n}=(\frac{b}{a})^n

Therefore, we obtain:

(32)4 (\frac{3}{2})^4

We use the formula:

(ba)n=bnan (\frac{b}{a})^n=\frac{b^n}{a^n}

Therefore, we obtain:

3424=3×3×3×32×2×2×2=8116 \frac{3^4}{2^4}=\frac{3\times3\times3\times3}{2\times2\times2\times2}=\frac{81}{16}
