What is the value of \(\left(\dfrac{27}{8}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (,\dfrac{4}{9},)
\(\left(\dfrac{27}{8}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{2}\), so \(\left(\dfrac{27}{8}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}}=\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^{-2}=\dfrac{4}{9}\). In exams, take the reciprocal for a negative exponent.
