Question

Help with math homework please!

Answer 1

The correct answer is: [C}: " 3 ⁻ ¹ " .

___________________________

Note: " 3 = 3 ¹ " .

→ " 3 ⁻ ¹ = 1 / (3 ¹) = 1 /3 =
`(1)/(3)` " .

_______________________

Let us consider the remaining answer choices:

_______________________

Choice [A}: " ( - 1)³ " .

Note: " ( - 1)³ " = " { - 1 * - 1 * - 1 } " = " -1 " .

→ " -1 " ≠ "
`(1)/(3)` " .

→ So; Choice [A} is INCORRECT.

___________________________

Choice [B]: " (- 3)¹ " .

Note: " ( - 3)¹ " = " -3 " .

→ " -3 " ≠ "
`(1)/(3)` " .

→ So; Choice [B] is INCORRECT.

___________________________

→ The correct answer is: [C]: " 3 ⁻ ¹ . "
