Transcript text: Use a calculator to find the following power.
\[
2 \pi^{-3}
\]
$2 \pi^{-3}=$ $\square$ (Round to eight decimal places as needed.)
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the given problem, we need to calculate \(2 \pi^{-3}\). This involves raising \(\pi\) to the power of -3 and then multiplying the result by 2. Finally, we will round the result to eight decimal places.
Step 1: Calculate \( \pi^{-3} \)
We start by calculating \( \pi^{-3} \):
\[
\pi^{-3} = \frac{1}{\pi^3}
\]
Step 2: Multiply by 2
Next, we multiply the result by 2:
\[
2 \pi^{-3} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\pi^3} = \frac{2}{\pi^3}
\]
Step 3: Evaluate and Round
Using the approximate value of \( \pi \approx 3.14159265 \), we compute:
\[
\pi^3 \approx 31.00627668
\]
Thus,
\[
2 \pi^{-3} \approx \frac{2}{31.00627668} \approx 0.06450306886639899
\]
Rounding this to eight decimal places gives:
\[
0.06450307
\]
