Question 952933: I am having a problem simplifying using the Rules of Exponents because of the negative exponent. I know I have to find the reciprocal but I get lost there.
this is my problem:
27^-2/3 / 27^-1/3
I am not sure if I have to cube it first which I believe it will give me....cube root of 27 and then square it: 27^2/3 = (27^1/3)^2 = 3^2 = 9
I appreciate any help....
