Explanation:

We need to find each of the following as a rational number in the form of p/q

(a) (3/7)² (b) (7/9)³ (c) (-2/3)⁴

Solution,

(a) (3/7)²


((3)/(7))^2=(9)/(49)

(b) (7/9)³


((7)/(9))^3=(7* 7* 7)/(9* 9* 9)\\\\=(343)/(729)

(c) (-2/3)⁴


((-2)/(3))^4=(-2* -2* -2* -2)/(3* 3* 3* 3)\\\\=(16)/(81)

Hence, this is the required solution.
