Question

Evaluate the exponent expression for a = –2 and b = 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

- 9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

-2a^-3b^2/a where a = -2 and b = 3

-2(-2)^-3(3)^2/(-2)

-2(- 1/8)(9)/(-2)

-2(- 9/8)/(-2)

9/4/(-2) or…

2.25/(-2)

-1.125 or - 9/8

Answer 2

Answer:

The choose B) -9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 2a ^{ - 3 } {b}^{2} }{a} \\ \frac{ - 2( - 2)^{ - 3} {3}^{2} }{ - 2} \\ \frac{ - 2(9)}{ - 2( - 8)} = - \frac{9}{8}$
