What is the result of the following power?
To solve the given power expression, we need to apply the formula for powers of a fraction. The expression we are given is:
Let's break down the steps:
So, the result of the expression is .
\( 100+5-100+5 \)
When you raise a fraction to a power, you're multiplying the entire fraction by itself multiple times. So (2/3)³ means (2/3) × (2/3) × (2/3), which requires cubing both parts.
No, 8/27 is already in its simplest form! Since 8 = 2³ and 27 = 3³ share no common factors, this fraction cannot be reduced.
For negative exponents, flip the fraction first, then apply the positive exponent: (2/3)⁻³ = (3/2)³ = 27/8.
Multiply step by step: (2/3) × (2/3) = 4/9, then (4/9) × (2/3) = 8/27. This confirms your answer!
Yes! The rule (a/b)ⁿ = aⁿ/bⁿ works for all fractions and all integer exponents, whether positive or negative.
