Solution

(i)left(left(frac{1}{3} right )^{-3}- left(frac{1}{2} right )^{-3}right )div left(frac{1}{4} right )^{-3}=left(frac{1}{(1/3)^3}- frac{1}{left (1/2 right )^3}right )divfrac{1}{(1/4)^{3}} ---> (an = 1/(an))
=left(frac{1}{(1/27)}- frac{1}{left (1/8 right )}right )divfrac{1}{(1/64)}
=left(frac{27}{1}- frac{8}{1}right )div64
=left(19right )timesfrac{1}{64}
=frac{19}{64}

(ii)left(3^2-2^2right )times left(frac{2}{3} right )^{-3}=left(9-4 right )timesfrac{1}{(2/3)^3} ---> (an = 1/(an))
=5timesfrac{1}{8/27}
=5timesfrac{27}{8}
=frac{135}{8}

(iii)left(left(frac{1}{2}right )^{-1}times left(-4 right )^{-1}right)^{-1}=left (left(frac{1}{1/2}right )times left(frac{1}{-4} right ) right )^{-1} ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=left (2times left (frac{1}{-4} right ) right )^{-1}
=left (frac{1}{-2} right )^{-1}
=frac{1}{1/(-2)} ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=-2

(iv)left(left(left(frac{-1}{4} right )^2 right )^{-2} right )^{-1}=left (left (frac{(-1)^2}{4^2} right )^{-2} right )^{-1} --> ((a/b)n = an/(bn))
=left (left (frac{1}{16} right )^{-2} right )^{-1} ---> (an = 1/(an))
=left (left (frac{1}{(1/16)^2} right ) right )^{-1}
=left (frac{1}{(1/256)} right )^{-1}
=256^{-1} ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=frac{1}{256}

(v)left(left(frac{2}{3} right )^2 right )^3timesleft(frac{1}{3} right )^{-4}times3^{-1}times6^{-1} =left (frac{2^2}{3^2} right )^3timesfrac{1}{(1/3)^4}timesfrac{1}{3}timesfrac{1}{6} ---> ((a/b)n = an/(bn)) and (an = 1/(an))
=left (frac{4}{9} right )^3timesfrac{1}{(1/81)}timesfrac{1}{3}timesfrac{1}{6}
=frac{4^3}{9^3}times81timesfrac{1}{18} ---> ((a/b)n = an/(bn))
=frac{64}{729}times81timesfrac{1}{18}
=frac{64}{9}timesfrac{1}{18}
=64timesfrac{1}{162}
=frac{64}{162}
=frac{32}{81}
