To determine whether the equation \( 10^{-\frac{1}{3}} = -\sqrt[3]{10} \) is true or false, we need to analyze each side of the equation.
The left side, \( 10^{-\frac{1}{3}} \), means \( \frac{1}{10^{\frac{1}{3}}} \) according to the negative exponent rule, which states that \( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^{n}} \).
The right side, \( -\sqrt[3]{10} \), is simply the negative value of the cube root of 10.
Now let's compare both sides:
- The left side \( 10^{-\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{10}} \).
- The right side is \( -\sqrt[3]{10} \).
Clearly, \( \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{10}} \) is positive, whereas \( -\sqrt[3]{10} \) is negative.
Thus, the two sides are not equal.
Conclusion
The correct response is:
False, because according to the negative exponent rule, the equation should be \( 10^{-\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{10}} \), which is not equal to \( -\sqrt[3]{10} \).
