Question

Find the value of 2^-3 x 3^-2

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{72}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

$a^{-m}$ ⇔ $\frac{1}{a^{m} }$, then

$2^{-3}$ = $\frac{1}{2^{3} }$ = $\frac{1}{8}$ and

$3^{-2}$ = $\frac{1}{3^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{9}$

Hence

$2^{-3}$ × $3^{-2}$

= $\frac{1}{8}$ × $\frac{1}{9}$

= $\frac{1(1)}{8(9)}$

= $\frac{1}{72}$
