Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer option is c. $\frac{1}{9a^2}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression $(27a^{-3})^{-\frac{2}{3} }$ and we are supposed to simplify it.

We can also write $(27a^{-3})^{-\frac{2}{3} }$ as $(\frac{3^3}{a^3} )^{-\frac{2}{3} }$.

We know the power rule (a^m)^n=a^{mn} which means that to raise a power to a power you need to multiply the exponents.

So multiplying the exponents to get:

$\frac{3^{(3.-\frac{2}{3})} }{a^{(3.\frac{2}{3})} }\\\\\frac{3^{-2}}{a^2}\\ \\\frac{1}{3^2a^2} \\\\\frac{1}{9a^2}$

Therefore, the correct answer option is c. $\frac{1}{9a^2}$.
