Question
Evaluate:
`(27/8)^(2/3) - (1/4)^-2 + 5^0`
Advertisements
Solution
`( 27/8 )^(2/3) - (1/4)^(-2) + 5^0`
= `([ 3 xx 3 xx 3]/[ 2 xx 2 xx 2 ])^(2/3) - ([ 1 xx 1 ]/[ 2 xx 2 ])^-2 + 5^0`
= `[(3/2)^3]^(2/3) - [(1/2)^2]^-2 + 1`
= `(3/2)^( 3 xx 2/3 ) - (1/2)^[2 xx ( - 2)] + 1`
= `(3/2)^2 - (1/2)^-4 + 1`
= `3/2 xx 3/2 - 1/[(1/2)^4] + 1`
= `9/4 - 1/[ 1/2 xx 1/2 xx 1/2 xx 1/2 ] + 1`
= `9/4 - 1/[1/16] + 1`
= `9/4 - 16 + 1`
= `[ 9 - 64 + 4 ]/4`
= `(-51)/4`
