Solve 2^/3-1^2

$$\frac{ { 2 }^{ } }{ 3 } - { 1 }^{ 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{3}\approx -0.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 2 to the power of 1 and get 2.

$$\frac{2}{3}-1^{2}$$

Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$\frac{2}{3}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{3}$$

Since \frac{2}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2-3}{3}$$

Subtract 3 from 2 to get -1.

$$-\frac{1}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{3} = -0.3333333333333333$$
