Question

Simplify the expression.

(1/4)^(-3/2)

Please show how to do the problem.

Answer 1

Alright, so since it's to the negative power we essentially have 1/(1/4^(3/2)). After that, we find (1/4)^3=1^3/4^3=1/64 and find the square root of that, which is (sqrt1)/(sqrt64)=1/8. Since the answer is 1/(1/8), we get the answer to be 8
