What is the value of \(\left(\frac{64}{125}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\frac{25}{16}\)
Since \(\left(\frac{64}{125}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{4}{5}\), \(\left(\frac{64}{125}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}}=\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{-2}=\frac{25}{16}\). In exams, take the cube root first.
