Question 393326: evaluate 1/32 to the negative 3/5 power.
I think you have to find out what the cube root of 32 is so you can find ou the cube root of 1/32, and that will cancel out the threes and you get 1/(cube root of 32) to the negitive 1/5, but 32 doesn't have a cube root, and after that I'm just lost. I don't get this at all.

with fractional exponents, the numerator is a power and the denominator is a root

so what you have is ___ one over, the fifth root of 1/32, cubed

2^5 = 32

1 / [(1/2)^3] = 1 / (1/8) = 8
