Depending on whether you meant: -2%5E0+%2B+%2816%5E%285%2F4%29%29%2F%28125%5E%28-2%2F3%29%29 or %28-2%5E0+%2B+%2816%5E%285%2F4%29%29%29%2F%28125%5E%28-2%2F3%29%29 the answer is either 801 or 825.

-2%5E0+%2B+%2816%5E%285%2F4%29%29%2F%28125%5E%28-2%2F3%29%29, but remember that a%5E%28-n%29=1%2Fa%5En, so:





Now, remember that a%5E%28n%2Fm%29=root%28m%2Ca%5En%29=%28root%28m%2Ca%29%29%5En, and a%5E0=1so:




Or:
