What is the value of \(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{-2}+\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{-2}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\frac{706}{225}\)
Here \(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{-2}=\frac{25}{9}\) and \(\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{-2}=\frac{9}{25}\), so the sum is \(\frac{625+81}{225}=\frac{706}{225}\). In exams, invert the fraction for negative powers.
