Question
Express as a power of a rational number with negative exponent.
`(((-3)/2)^-2)^-3`
Advertisements
Solution
Using laws of exponents,
(am)n = (a)m × n and `a^-m = 1/a^m` ...[∵ a is non-zero integer]
∴ `(((-3)/2)^-2)^-3 = ((-3)/2)^(-2 xx (-3))`
= `((-3)/2)^6`
= `(2/3)^-6`

An insect is on the 0 point of a number line, hopping towards 1. She covers half the distance from her current location to 1 with each hop. So, she will be at `1/2` after one hop, `3/4` after two hops, and so on.
Where will the insect be after n hops?
