Raising a number to a negative fraction power I am doing a math problem where I need to raise 9 to the -3/2 power. I am unsure how this is done. I believe it's the equivalent of saying 2√9^-3, but I am unsure if this is true. If you can help me it would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

$$9^{-\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{1}{9^\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{9^3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{729}} = \frac{1}{27} $$
You can read about negative exponents on wikipedia. You can solve problems like that with WolframAlpha.
