The correct Answer is:
To find the reciprocal of each expression, we need to follow the rule that the reciprocal of a fraction \( \frac{a}{b} \) is \( \frac{b}{a} \). For a number raised to a power, we can treat it as a fraction with 1 in the denominator. Let's solve each part step by step: ### (i) Reciprocal of \( \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{4} \) 1. **Identify the expression**: The expression is \( \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{4} \). 2. **Write the reciprocal**: The reciprocal will switch the numerator and denominator. Thus, it becomes \( \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{4} \). **Final Answer**: \( \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{4} \) --- ### (ii) Reciprocal of \( \left(\frac{-3}{5}\right)^{61} \) 1. **Identify the expression**: The expression is \( \left(\frac{-3}{5}\right)^{61} \). 2. **Write the reciprocal**: The reciprocal will switch the numerator and denominator. Thus, it becomes \( \left(\frac{5}{-3}\right)^{61} \). **Final Answer**: \( \left(\frac{5}{-3}\right)^{61} \) or \( -\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^{61} \) --- ### (iii) Reciprocal of \( 2^{5} \) 1. **Identify the expression**: The expression is \( 2^{5} \). 2. **Rewrite as a fraction**: We can write this as \( \frac{2}{1}^{5} \). 3. **Write the reciprocal**: The reciprocal will switch the numerator and denominator. Thus, it becomes \( \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{5} \). **Final Answer**: \( \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{5} \) --- ### (iv) Reciprocal of \( (-5)^{6} \) 1. **Identify the expression**: The expression is \( (-5)^{6} \). 2. **Rewrite as a fraction**: We can write this as \( \frac{-5}{1}^{6} \). 3. **Write the reciprocal**: The reciprocal will switch the numerator and denominator. Thus, it becomes \( \left(\frac{1}{-5}\right)^{6} \). **Final Answer**: \( \left(\frac{1}{-5}\right)^{6} \) or \( -\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{6} \) ---
