Evaluate the following expression. 6 ^-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the -3 is a power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well with all negative powers, the number being put to that power must be inverted in order to get a positive power so it becomes (1/6)^3 or 1/6^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 do u agree

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

definitely :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 1/6^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what is 6^3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplified not as a power if we leave it as a power the answer would be\[\frac{ 1 }{ 6^{3} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks
