Question

What is the value of the expression (1/6)^-1? Write your answer as simplified as possible.

Answer 1

`6`

Explanation:

Recall that
`a^(-b)=(1)/(a^b)`. Therefore, any number
`n` raised to the power of
`-1` will be
`(1)/(n^1)=(1)/(n)` (the reciprocal of that number).

Thus, the value of the expression
`\left ((1)/(6)\right)^(-1)` is:

`\left ((1)/((1)/(6))\right )=\fbox{$6$}`.
