Find the value of xx in the equation x=(245)153x=\sqrt[3]{(-245)^{-\frac{1}{5}}} rounded to the nearest hundredth.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to solve for xx in the equation x=(245)153x=\sqrt[3]{(-245)^{-\frac{1}{5}}}.
2. The solution should be rounded to the nearest hundredth.

STEP 2

First, we need to simplify the expression inside the cube root. The expression (245)15(-245)^{-\frac{1}{5}} represents the fifth root of 245-245 raised to the power of 1-1.
x=(245)153x = \sqrt[3]{(-245)^{-\frac{1}{5}}}

STEP 3

Calculate the fifth root of 245-245. The fifth root of a number is the number that, when raised to the power of 5, gives the original number. Since 245-245 is negative, its fifth root will also be negative.
2455=(2455)\sqrt[5]{-245} = -\left(\sqrt[5]{245}\right)

STEP 4

Find the fifth root of 245245. To do this, we can look for a number that, when raised to the power of 5, is close to 245245.

STEP 5

By trial and error or estimation, we can determine that 33 is a reasonable approximation for the fifth root of 245245 since 35=2433^5 = 243.
24553\sqrt[5]{245} \approx 3

STEP 6

Now, we can use the approximation to rewrite the fifth root of 245-245.
24553\sqrt[5]{-245} \approx -3

STEP 7

Next, we need to raise this result to the power of 1-1 to account for the negative exponent in the original expression.
(3)1=13(-3)^{-1} = -\frac{1}{3}

STEP 8

Now that we have simplified the expression inside the cube root, we can substitute it back into the original equation.
x=133x = \sqrt[3]{-\frac{1}{3}}

STEP 9

To calculate the cube root of 13-\frac{1}{3}, we need to find a number that, when raised to the power of 3, equals 13-\frac{1}{3}.

STEP 10

By trial and error or estimation, we can determine that 133-\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} is a reasonable approximation for the cube root of 13-\frac{1}{3}.
133133\sqrt[3]{-\frac{1}{3}} \approx -\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}

STEP 11

Now, we can approximate the cube root of 33 to find the value of xx.
331.442\sqrt[3]{3} \approx 1.442

STEP 12

Using this approximation, we can now calculate the value of xx.
x11.442x \approx -\frac{1}{1.442}

STEP 13

Perform the division to find the value of xx.
x11.4420.693x \approx -\frac{1}{1.442} \approx -0.693

STEP 14

Round the result to the nearest hundredth.
x0.69x \approx -0.69
The value of xx to the nearest hundredth is 0.69-0.69.
