Explanation:

(3a / a²)⁻²

(3 / a)⁻²

(a / 3)²

a² / 9

Answer 2

The answer to your question is:
`(a^(2) )/(3)`

Explanation:

`((3a)/(a^(2) ) )^(-2)`

1.- Use rules of exponents

`((3a)^(-2) )/((a^(-2))^(-2))`

2.- Simplify

`((3a)^(-2) )/(a^(-4) )`

3.- Use rule of sign of exponents

`((a^(4) )/(3a^(2) ) )`

4.- Simplify "a"

`(a^(2))/(3)`
