What is 27 to the power of 2/3?
Fractional exponents in algebra use the same rules that are used for the other exponents.
Answer: 27 to the power of 2/3 is 9.
Let's solve this step by step.
Explanation:
Given: 27 to the power of 2/3 or 27(2/3).
First, rewrite 27 as 33.
27(2/3)= 33(2/3)
We will apply the exponent rules and multiply exponents, (am)n = amn.
So we cancel the common factor of 3 to get
32 = 3 × 3 = 9.
Thus, 27 to the power of 2/3 is 9.
