Documenting System Scaling Factors for New Hires

As a senior technical trainer, you are drafting a reference guide for new hires on how to interpret legacy system scaling factors. Two common adjustment factors encountered in the software are 1634{}16^{-\frac{3}{4}} and 8132{}81^{-\frac{3}{2}}. Write a brief procedural explanation detailing the exact steps to evaluate these specific expressions from start to finish. Your explanation must explicitly state how to handle the negative exponent, how to rewrite the expression in radical form, the simplified root, and the final evaluated fraction for both expressions.
