Question

Which is the value of this expression when a=5 and k=-2

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

$(\frac{3^2a^{-2}}{3a^{-1}})^k$

The value of a =5 and k = -2

Putting the values and solving

$=(\frac{3^2*5^{-2}}{3*5^{-1}})^-2\\=(\frac{3^{2-1}}{5^{-1+2}})^-2\\=(\frac{3^{1}}{5^{1}})^-2\\\\=(\frac{3}{5})^-2\\if \,\,a^{-1} \,\,then\,\, 1/a\\=\frac{(3)^{-2}}{(5)^{-2}}\\ Can\,\,be\,\,written\,\,as\\\\=\frac{(5)^{2}}{(3)^{2}} \\=\frac{25}{9}$

Option C is correct.
