Use the Negative Exponent Rule to generate an equivalent expression to 3^−1/2

The Negative Exponent Rule states that a number with a negative exponent can be rewritten as a quotient with a positive exponent in the denominator, and the denominator of the exponent indicates the index to use.

Apply the rule: 3^(−1/2) = 1 / 3^(1/2). Since 3^(1/2) = √3, this equals 1/√3.

If you prefer a rationalized denominator: 1/√3 · (√3/√3) = √3/3.
