Question

write the expression as a whole number with a negative exponent. do not evaluate the expression.\\(\frac{1}{6^9}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall negative exponent rule

For any non-zero whole number $a$ and positive integer $n$, $\frac{1}{a^n}=a^{-n}$

Step2: Apply rule to given expression

Substitute $a=6$, $n=9$ into the rule.
$\frac{1}{6^9}=6^{-9}$

Answer:

$6^{-9}$
