Expression Simplification:
- First, simplify each term inside the parentheses:
- (64)^(-2/3) = 1/(64)^(2/3) = 1/(4^2) = 1/16
- (27)^(-2/3) = 1/(27)^(2/3) = 1/(3^3) = 1/27
- Substitute the simplified values back into the expression:
- 1/16 - 2/3 * 1/27
- 1/16 - 2/81
- To combine the fractions, find a common denominator, which is 16*81 = 1296:
- (1*81)/(16*81) - (2*16)/(81*16)
- 81/1296 - 32/1296
- (81 - 32)/1296
- 49/1296
Final Answer:
- The final simplified value of the expression (64)^(-2/3) - 2/3 * (27)^(-2/3) is 49/1296, which can be further simplified to 1/144. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - 1/144.
