Let's clean the expression for
(a)/(b): first of all, every number raised to the power of zero is one, so it can be ignored, since it is a multiplicative factor.


Moreover, we can use the rule for negative exponents



\left( (a)/(b) \right) ^ {-n} = \left( (b)/(a) \right) ^ {n}


To write the expression for
(a)/(b) as



(a)/(b) = \left( (3)/(2)\right)^3x = (27)/(8) x


So,
\left( (a)/(b) \right) ^ {-3} = \left((27)/(8) x\right)^(-3) = \left( (8)/(27) \right)^3 (1)/(x^3) = (8^3)/(27^3x^3) = (512)/(19683x^3)
