Answer:
a) 1/8
b) 1/9
c) 1/10,000
Explanation:
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, that means that the answer will be less than one. The format is:
x^-y = 1/x^y (i apologize, exponents on here are really messy)
Ok so for a, you get 1/2^3. 2^3 = 8, so your resulting fraction is 1/8
b). 1/3^2. 3^2 = 9, so your resulting fraction is 1/9
c). 1/10^4. 10^4 = 10,000, so your resulting fraction is 1/10,000.
Sorry fractions and exponents don't work well on my computer. Hope this helps!
