Question
Evaluate the expression.a. $\left[\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}\right]^{-2}$b. $\left[\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}\right]^{-3}$
Step 1
According to the law of exponents, when we have a power raised to another power, we multiply the exponents. So, we multiply 3 and -2 to get -6. This gives us $\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-6}$. Show more…
