Math Problem Statement

Simplify [3^(5/3)]^-6

Solution

To simplify [3(5/3)]6[3^{(5/3)}]^{-6}, follow these steps:

Step 1: Apply the Power Rule

(am)n=amn\left(a^m\right)^n = a^{m \cdot n} Here, a=3a = 3, m=53m = \frac{5}{3}, and n=6n = -6.

[3(5/3)]6=353(6)=310[3^{(5/3)}]^{-6} = 3^{\frac{5}{3} \cdot (-6)} = 3^{-10}

Step 2: Simplify the Exponent

53(6)=10\frac{5}{3} \cdot (-6) = -10 Thus, 353(6)=310.3^{\frac{5}{3} \cdot (-6)} = 3^{-10}.

Step 3: Write the Final Simplified Form

The simplified expression is: 310=13103^{-10} = \frac{1}{3^{10}}

So, the final result is: 1310\boxed{\frac{1}{3^{10}}}
