rewrite expression as a fraction without exponents or as an integer : (2/3)^-4 explain plllz

Question

anonymous · Answer

decompose the equation by knowing that having a negative exponent really means the number inside the parenthesis is 1/number^4th power.

anonymous · Answer

then you'll have to evaluate (2/3)^4

anonymous · Answer

so when there's always a negative you divide the parenthesis by 1??

anonymous · Answer

you divide 1 by the number in the parenthesis

anonymous · Answer

so the answer would be 81\16???

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

what do you do when you don't have a negative exponent? do you just multiply normally?

anonymous · Answer

yes it just means you have to evaluate the number inside the parenthesis according to the exponent that it has been "powered up" with :)
