What is (-2/3) to the fifth power
raise numerator and denominator to the fifth power
(-2/3)^5=-32/243
Note: When you raise a negative number to an odd power, like 3,5,7,etc, you will get a negative number. When you raise a negative or positive number to an even power, like 2,4,6,etc, you will get a positive number.
