Question

Can you help me with number 10

Answer 1

$\bf ~\hspace{7em}\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} ~\hspace{4.5em} a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} ~\hspace{4.5em} \cfrac{a^n}{a^m}\implies a^na^{-m}\implies a^{n-m} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{(3^{-2})^2}{3^{-3}}\implies \cfrac{3^{-2\cdot 2}}{3^{-3}}\implies \cfrac{3^{-4}}{3^{-3}}\implies \cfrac{1}{3^{-3}\cdot 3^4}\implies \cfrac{1}{3^{-3+4}}\implies \cfrac{1}{3^1}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}$
