\circ \frac{1}{6^{42}}
\circ \frac{1}{6^{19}}
\circ 6^6
\circ 6^{30}

Explanation:

Simplify the numerator using the Power of a Power Rule

$$ (6^{-4})^{-9} = 6^{-4 \times (-9)} = 6^{36} $$

Simplify the fraction using the Quotient of Powers Rule

$$ \frac{6^{36}}{6^6} = 6^{36 - 6} = 6^{30} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\frac{1}{6^{42}}\)
  • (B) \(\frac{1}{6^{19}}\)
  • (C) \(6^6\)
  • (D) \(6^{30}\) (Correct answer)
