If they asked for a numeric answer, I can't imagine doing it without a calculator. The furthest I am able to simplify it is
-2^99/3^99 after that I don't see how you can solve it.

Shakyad,

This is a serious infraction of GMAC rules. You agreed not to disclose any information regarding actual test questions when you took the test. A website did this a few years back and everybody involved had their scores revoked. Please edit the question and refrain from posting actual GMAT questions.

could anyone give me the easy way.
Not cool :evil:

The GMAT spends approximately $2,400 to generate a question. Not to mention that they have some of the best minds working on content.

Posting a question from the actual test is a serious infraction, and Shakyad, I am sure you didnt know any better.....but I would advise you to edit your post.
For love, not money.

I doubt the GMAT actually wanted you to calculate the question. I bet this was an approximate answer type of question with very wide values. I guarantee that one of the answer choices was zero, since (-2/3)^99 is essentially zero.
