Question

rewrite the following without an exponent.

(6^{-2})

Explanation:

Apply negative exponent rule

Using the Exponent Rules knowledge point

$$ a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} $$

$$ 6^{-2} = \frac{1}{6^2} $$

Evaluate the power

Evaluate the denominator:

$$ 6^2 = 6 \times 6 = 36 $$

$$ \frac{1}{6^2} = \frac{1}{36} $$
