Question

*WORTH 6 POINTS*Someone please help me. this is due tommorow.

Answer 1

Here are a few rules that apply to this expression:

1. Powering a power: $(x^m)^n=x^{m*n}$
2. Converting a negative exponent to a positive one: $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m};\frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m$

Firstly, solve the exponent: $(-6x)^{-2}=-6^{-2}x^{1*-2}=-6^{-2}x^{-2}$

Next, convert the negative exponents: $-6^{-2}x^{-2}=-\frac{1}{6^2x^2}=-\frac{1}{36x^2}$

Your final answer is -1/36x^2.
