what's the issue here?

#

are you familiar with exponent laws?

Anything to the power of zero is 1, so just turn the 64 into a 1.

4^-3 / 4^x =1

We don’t really care about what 4^-3 is, all we care about is how can we turn it into 1. By dividing it by itself

#

Making x = -3

#

The fraction to the right is 1/(1/27)

#

To divide fractions, you flip the right hand side and multiply

Then it is -27 and the teacher is wrong

#

(1/27)^-1 = 27

#

1divided by 27=1/27

#

1divided by 1/27=27

#

1(1/27)= 1*27/1

#

=27

#

just think with clear mind
