Answer:

Its 2.25

Step-by-step explanation: Since the fraction is negative, to the 2 power you are multiplying it by it self ( -3/2 x -3/2). When they same sign when multiplying, it will cancel out and be a positive.

Answer:

9/4 OR 2 1/4

Explanation:

-3/2 to the second power is -3/2 * -3/2 so you multiply the numerators together and you multiply the denominators together then put it back as a fraction

-3 *-3 = 9

2 *2 =4

9/4 or in mixed form 2 1/4
