When a power expression has a negative exponent, the expression's value decreases when the base increases. Thus

Another way to see this is to rewrite the two powers as

and because \displaystyle 0\textrm{.}5^{3} > 0\textrm{.}4^{3} (see exercise a), it follows that

Vorlage:Displayed math

i.e. \displaystyle 0\textrm{.}4^{-3} > 0\textrm{.}5^{-3}\,.
