Given the following expression:


(8q^9)^(-4)

To simplify the expression, we will use the following rules:


\begin{gathered} (a^m)^n=a^(m*n) \\ a^(-m)=(1)/(a^m) \end{gathered}

So, the given expression will be as follows:


(8q^9)^(-4)=8^(-4)*q^(9*-4)=(1)/(8^4)q^(-36)=(1)/(4096)q^(-36)

So, the answer will be the second option
