3^–3 =

1 answer

To evaluate \(3^{-3}\), we can use the property of negative exponents, which states that \(a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}\).

Applying this to our problem:

\[ 3^{-3} = \frac{1}{3^3} \]

Now we calculate \(3^3\):

\[ 3^3 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ 3^{-3} = \frac{1}{27} \]

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[ \frac{1}{27} \]
