Question

Simplify (-2)^-3 a. -8 b. -1/8 c. 1/8 d. 8

Answer 1

Answer:

B.) -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You flip the problem because of the negative exponent

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

This makes the exponent positive

Expand the denominator

(-2) * (-2) * (-2) = 4*(-2) = -8

1/-8 = -1/8

Answer 2

Answer:

Its D because 2×2×2 equals 8 and they are both minus and knowing - times - makes + so it becomes 8
