Negative exponents?

Math homework continues to be the bane of my existence.

Well, as if fractional exponents weren’t bad enough, there are now negatives as well. How would I solve a problem like:

-(9)^(-1/3)

I know it’s going to seem insanely easy as soon as I figure it out… Any help?

A negative exponent indicates a reciprocal. x^(-1) = 1/x. In your example, -(9)^(-1/3) = -1/(9^1/3).
