Question

Simplify the following (1/2)^-3

Answer 1

Answer:

• 8

====================

Use properties:

• $a^{bc} = (a^b)^c$
• $a^{-1} = 1/a$

Simplify in steps:

• $(\cfrac{1}{2})^{-3} =$                              
• $(\cfrac{1}{2})^{-1*3} =$                        
• $((\cfrac{1}{2})^{-1})^3 =$                    
• $2^3=$
• $8$
