Simplify the following:
((-1^3)/(-3)^(-3))^2
1^3 = 1:
((-1)/(-3)^(-3))^2
(-3)^(-3) = 1/(-1)^3×1/3^3 = (-1)/3^3:
((-1)/((-1)/3^3))^2
3^3 = 3×3^2:
((-1)/(-1/(3×3^2)))^2
3^2 = 9:
((-1)/((-1)/(3×9)))^2
3×9 = 27:
((-1)/((-1)/27))^2
Multiply the numerator of (-1)/((-1)/27) by the reciprocal of the denominator. (-1)/((-1)/27) = (-27)/(-1):
((-27)/(-1))^2
(-27)/(-1) = (-1)/(-1)×27 = 27:
27^2
