Answer:
The answer is the second one: [tex](-1/2)^{-3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) When an exponent is negative, we must 'flip' the term before applying the exponent.
[tex](-1/2)^{-3}[/tex] = [tex](-2/1)^3[/tex]= [tex]-2^3[/tex]
2) Next, we need to cube two. Remember, the negative number does not apply yet!
[tex]-2^3[/tex] = -8
3) Thus, we get our answer. -8.
I hope this help, firend!!
