Thus, (64729)\u22121\/6\\left(\\frac{64}{729}\\right)^{-1\/6} becomes (72964)1\/6\\left(\\frac{729}{64}\\right)^{1\/6}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we simplify the new base 72964\\frac{729}{64}. To do this, factor both numbers into their prime components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>64=2664 = 2^6: this is because 2\u00d72\u00d72\u00d72\u00d72\u00d72=642 \\times 2 \\times 2 \\times 2 \\times 2 \\times 2 = 64.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>729=36729 = 3^6: because 3\u00d73\u00d73\u00d73\u00d73\u00d73=7293 \\times 3 \\times 3 \\times 3 \\times 3 \\times 3 = 729.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore: (72964)1\/6=(3626)1\/6\\left(\\frac{729}{64}\\right)^{1\/6} = \\left(\\frac{3^6}{2^6}\\right)^{1\/6}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the <strong>power of a power rule<\/strong> (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}, apply the exponent: 36\u00d71626\u00d716=3121=32\\frac{3^{6 \\times \\frac{1}{6}}}{2^{6 \\times \\frac{1}{6}}} = \\frac{3^1}{2^1} = \\frac{3}{2}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the simplified result is 32\\frac{3}{2}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This result is a rational number and represents the sixth root of the reciprocal of 64729\\frac{64}{729}. Despite the initial complexity, recognizing perfect sixth powers and using exponent rules allows for quick simplification. The incorrect answers like \u201c-2\/33\/24\/33\/4\u201d appear to be typographical errors or miscalculations. The correct and simplest form is: 32\\boxed{\\frac{3}{2}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"
