Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To rewrite $$(6x)^{-2}$$ without negative exponents and without parentheses, follow these steps:

1. **Eliminate the Negative Exponent:**
   $$
   (6x)^{-2} = \frac{1}{(6x)^2}
   $$

2. **Expand the Expression:**
   $$
   \frac{1}{(6x)^2} = \frac{1}{36x^2}
   $$

So, the expression without negative exponents and without parentheses is:

$$
\frac{1}{36\,x^{2}}
$$
$$ \frac{1}{36x^{2}} $$
