document.write( "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. \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #279160 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! with fractional exponents, the numerator is a power and the denominator is a root\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so what you have is ___ one over, the fifth root of 1/32, cubed\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2^5 = 32\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 / [(1/2)^3] = 1 / (1/8) = 8 \n" ); document.write( " |
