(1/3)(−1)

Solution

1. Identify the negative exponent rule, which states that a(−n)=1/(an)

2. Apply the rule for a fraction raised to a negative power, which is (a/b)(−n)=(b/a)n

3. Substitute the values into the formula to get (1/3)(−1)=(3/1)1

4. Simplify the resulting expression.

Final Answer
