Question

So im finding an explanation for (-3/4) power of 3.
Btw I know the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The negative sign on an exponent means the reciprocal. Think of it this way: just as a positive exponent means repeated multiplication by the base, a negative exponent means repeated division by the base. So 2^(-4) = 1/(2^4) = 1/(2*2*2*2) = 1/16.
