Solution

simplify

- 8^{- \frac{2}{3}}

Solution

- \frac{1}{4}

+1

Decimal Notation

- 0.25

Solution steps

- 8^{- \frac{2}{3}}

Factor the number:

8 = 2^{3}

= - (2^{3})^{- \frac{2}{3}}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}, a \geq 0

= - 2^{3 (- \frac{2}{3})}

3 (- \frac{2}{3}) = - 2

= - 2^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

2^{- 2} = \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

2^{2} = 4

= - \frac{1}{4}
