Answer 1

Answer: 8/3 and -9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $\frac{2^{3}}{3} = \frac{2 * 2 * 2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$

2. In this problem, when raising a whole fraction to a power, you must both raise the numerator and denominator to that power.

$-(\frac{3}{2})^2 = -(\frac{3^2}{2^2}) = -(\frac{9}{4}) = -\frac{9}{4}$

Answer 2

The answer is 8/3 -9/4 hope this helped
