simplify-(1/2)^{-3}

Solution

simplify

- (\frac{1}{2})^{- 3}

Solution

- 8

Solution steps

- (\frac{1}{2})^{- 3}

Apply exponent rule:

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

(\frac{1}{2})^{- 3} = \frac{1}{( \frac{1}{2} ) ^{3}}

= - \frac{1}{( \frac{1}{2} ) ^{3}}

(\frac{1}{2})^{3} = \frac{1}{8}

= - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{8}}

- \frac{1}{\frac{1}{8}} = - 8

= - 8
