Compare the terms.

Therefore, a = -2 and n = 3. From the law of exponent above, we receive:

<u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>.</u> (For cubic)

Factor (-2)^3 out.

(-2) • (-2) = 4 | Negative × Negative = Positive.

4 • (-2) = -8 | Negative Multiply Positive = Negative.

If either denominator or numerator is in negative, it is the best to write in the middle or between numerator and denominators.
Hence,

The answer is - 1 / 8
(26/25) x (15/28) x (8/39)
Divide top and bottom by 3 :
(26/25) x (5/28) x (8/13)
Divide top and bottom by 5 :
(26/5) x (1/28) x (8/13)
Divide top and bottom by 4 :
(26/5) x (1/7) x (2/13)
= 52 / 455 = 0.11429... (rounded)
