Question

by what no should (-6)^-1 be multiplied so the product is 27^-1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the required no. be 'x'

A/c to given conditions

==> x * ( - 6 ) ^ - 1 = 27 ^ -1

==> x = - 6/27

==> x = - 2 / 9

Answer 2

Answer: -2/9

Step-by-step explanation:-

(-6)^-1 x y = 27^-1

POWERS ARE NEGATIVE SO WE WILL DO RECIPROCAL SO THAT WE GET A POSITIVE POWER:-

= (-1/6)^1 = -1/6;  ( -1/27)^1= 1/27

let the unknown no. be y

-1/6 x y= 1/27

-1y= 1/27 x 6= -2/9

TO CHECK:-

-1/6 x -2/9= 2/54= 1/27=(27)^1
