Answer:

A. (3/2)² = (9/4)

B. (-1/2)⁴ = (1/16)

C. (-1/3)³ = 1/81

D. (-4/5)⁰ = 1

E. (-5/9)¹ = (-5/9)

Explanation:

A. (3/2)² = (9/4)

(3/2)*(3/2) numerators-3*3=9 denominators-2*2=4 (9/4)

B. (-1/2)⁴ =

(-1/2)*(-1/2)*(-1/2)*(-1/2)=(-1*-1*-1*-1)/(2*2*2*2)= (1/16)

C. (-1/3)³ =

(-1/3)*(-1/3)*(-1/3)*(-1/3)=(-1*-1*-1*-1)/(3*3*3*3)=(1/81)

D. (-4/5)⁰ =

Anything to the power of 0 is =1

E. (-5/9)¹ =

Anything to the power of one is itself = (-5/9)
