X^-2 is 1/X^2

Sqrt(X) is X^(1/2). I.e. X^(1/2) = X^(1/2+1/2) = X^1 = X.

The third root is X^(1/3). I.e. X^(1/3) * X^(1/3) * X^(1/3)  =
X^(1/3+1/3+1/3) = X^1 = X.

The answer you're getting is correct. When you instruct 3^-3, then you're 
instructing to devide. So it's 3/3=1/3=0,037

If you want the outcome to be a negative value of -27 then you must instruct 
-3^3.
