Question

HOw to solve -100^(-3/2) ????????? Please help!

Answer 1

\[-\frac{1}{1000} \]

Answer 2

okay cool . But how did you get to there?

Answer 3

Please show the steps :) thank yiou!!!

Answer 4

You can break it into steps with parenthesis:
\[-(((100^{1/2})^{3})^{-1}\]
Evaluate starting at the innermost parenthesis:
\[-(((10})^{3})^{-1}\]
\[-(1000}^{-1}\]
-(1/1000)

Answer 5

why is it to the exponent 3 and the -1, and not just -3??

Answer 6

\[-100{}^{\wedge}(-3/2)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt[2]{100^3}}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt[2]{1000000}}=-\frac{1}{1000} \]

Answer 7

You can do the exponents in any order like (like robtobey).
