Question

What is 3^-2a^-3 as a fraction.

Answer 1

`(1)/(3^2a^3)`

Step-by-step explanation

We are given the expression:

`3^(-2)a^(-3)`

To write this as a fraction, we must note that from the laws of indices:

`x^(-y)=(1)/(x^y)_{}`

This therefore implies that:

`3^(-2)a^(-3)\text{ = }(1)/(3^2a^3)`

That is the expression written as a fraction.
