Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Baseline) (y Superscript negative 2 Baseline) Over 2 (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3, when x = negative 1 and y = 2. Step 1:
Substitute x = negative 1 and y = 2 into the expression.
(StartFraction (negative 1) Superscript negative 3 Baseline (2) Superscript negative 2 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (2) superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3
Step 2:
Simplify the parentheses.
(StartFraction (2) Superscript 4 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (negative 1) cubed (2) squared EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Baseline = (StartFraction (2) squared Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 7 Baseline EndFraction) Superscript negative 3
Step 3:
Evaluate the power to a power.
StartFraction (2) Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over 2 Superscript negative 3 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript negative 21 baseline EndFraction
Step 4:
Use reciprocals and find the value.
StartFraction 1 Over 2 cubed (2) Superscript 6 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript 21 Baseline EndFraction = StartFraction 1 Over 8 times 64 times (negative 1) EndFraction = Negative StartFraction 1 Over 512 EndFraction
