6÷3=2, x^3 - x^4 is x^-1, multiplied by ^2 is x^-2 . Flip the negative exponents and you get 2/x^-2

For this case we have the following expression:
((6x ^ 3) / (3x ^ 4)) ^ 2
By power properties we can rewrite the function as:
(6x ^ (3 * 2)) / (3x ^ (4 * 2))
(6x ^ 6) / (3x ^ 8)
Then, simplifying we have:
2x ^ (6-8)
2x ^ -2
2 / x ^ 2
Answer:
The simplified expression is:
2 / x ^ 2
