Answer:

Rewriting
6^(-2) without an exponent we get
\mathbf{(1)/(36)}

Explanation:

We need to rewrite the following without an exponent.
6^(-2)

We need to solve the exponent to find the result.

We know the exponent rule:
a^(-b)=(1)/(a^b)

Now using this rule to solve the equation:


6^(-2)\\=(1)/(6^2)\\We \:know \:that\:6^2 = 6* 6=36\\=(1)/(36)

So, Rewriting
6^(-2) without an exponent we get
\mathbf{(1)/(36)}
