Solution

(i)left(4^{-1}times3^{-1} right )^2=left(frac{1}{4}times frac{1}{3}right )^2 ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=1122
=(1)2(12)2 --->((a/b)n = (an)/(bn))
=1144

(ii)left(5^{-1}div6^{-1} right )^3=left(frac{1}{5}divfrac{1}{6} right)^3 ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=653
=216125 --->((a/b)n = (an)/(bn))


(iii) 2-1 + 3-1-1 = 12+ 13-1 ---> (a-1= 1/a) = 56-1 = 65 ---> (a-1= 1/a)


(iv)left(3^{-1}times4^{-1} right )^{-1}times5^{-1}=left(frac{1}{3}timesfrac{1}{4} right )^{-1}timesfrac{1}{5} ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=112-1×15
=12×15 ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=125

(v)left(4^{-1}-5^{-1} right )div 3^{-1}=left(frac{1}{4}-frac{1}{5} right )div frac{1}{3} ---> (a−1 = 1/a)
=left(frac{5-4}{20} right )times 3
=120×3

=320
