The property of negative integer exponents can be applied to solve 7^-3 by recognizing that a^-n is equal to 1/a^n. Therefore, 7^-3 is equal to 1/7^3.

Simplifying 7^3 gives us 343.

Thus, 7^-3 is equal to 1/343.

Yes, I am sure. When you have a negative exponent, it means you take the reciprocal of the base. So 7^(-3) becomes 1/(7^3).

7^3 = 7 * 7 * 7 = 343.

So, 7^(-3) = 1/343.
