Answer:

The correct answer option is
(25)/(9).

Explanation:

We are given the following expression and we are to evaluate it when
a = 5 and
k = -2:


[(3^2a^(-2))/(3a^(-1)) ]^k

Substituting the given values of
a and
k to get:


[(3^2(5)^(-2))/(3(5)^(-1)) ]^(-2)


(3^((2* -2)).5^((1*-2)))/(3^((-1*-2)).5^((2*-2)))


(3^(-4).5^(-2))/(3^(-2).5^(-4))


3^(-2).5^2


\frac { 1 } { 3 ^ 2 } . 2


\frac { 1 } { 9 } . 2 5


\frac { 2 5 } { 9 }
