This math topic focuses on practicing calculations with negative fractional exponents where the bases are unit fractions. It covers evaluating expressions such as \((1/49)^{-1/2}\) or \((1/27)^{-1/3}\). The problems are designed to enhance understanding of how to manipulate and simplify expressions involving both fractional and negative exponents. This is part of a larger unit on exponents that deal with negative and fractional bases and exponents. Each problem offers multiple choice answers, and students must determine the correct simplification of the given exponentiated fraction.
