Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to solve 7^−3 . The answer should not contain any exponent expression or decimals.(1 point)

1 answer

The property of negative integer exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of a negative integer is equal to the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent.

Therefore, 7^(-3) is equal to 1/(7^3).

Simplifying further,
7^3 = 7 * 7 * 7 = 343.

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

The answer, without any exponent expression or decimals, is 1/343.
