By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, all number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers.

So naturally, lets divide 120 by an easy prime number.
We know that 120 is even, so lets try 2 120/2 = 60 lets keep dividing it by two until it becomes odd or prime 60/2 = 30 30/2 = 15 now lets see, what are some factors of 15?

Well the obvious ones are 3 and 5, both of which are prime. So now we can just count up how many times we divided it by 2
 
120/2 = 60 60/2 = 30 30/2 = 15 and 15 is just 3 x 5, so: <span>
120=(<span>23</span>)×(3)×(5)</span>
or <span><span>
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5</span></span>

Evaluate this exponential expression.
Levart [38]

Answer:

(-27)^\dfrac{2}{3} = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Asn expression : (-27)^\dfrac{2}{3}

We need to evaluate the above expression.

We know that, (-3)^3=-27

So,

(-27)^\dfrac{2}{3}=(-3)^{3\times \dfrac{2}{3}}

or

=(-3)^2\\\\=-3\times -3\\\\=9

So, the value of (-27)^\dfrac{2}{3} is 9. Hence, the correct option is (b).
