assuming expression is
-729 ^ (-4/3)
law of exponents; to the power of a negative, flip fraction and make power positive
(1 / -729) ^ (4/3)
rational exponents; numerator is the number of times the quantity multiplies itselfy by and denominator is the nth root the quantity is taken by
^3√(1 / -729)^4
^3√(1)^4 / ^3√(-729)^4
^3√1 / ^3√282429536481
1 / 6561
