Question

Express -32/243 into power notation​

Answer 1

This problem can take a while if you cannot observer the answer quickly.

First of all we can see that 32=2*2*2*2*2=2^5

243, if you don't know its actually is 3^5

Now we can see that this turns into...

- 2^5/3^5

since the 5th power doesn't change the sign of the original number, we can put the negative in the ( ), if you don't know what I mean look below

(-3)^2=9 Positive

(-3)^3=-27 Negative since its to the odd power it keeps the sign.

This problem can be simplified to.

(-2/3)^5

And this is the answer :D
