Answer:

Third option.
(p^3)/(n^(6))

Explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember one of the properties for exponents.

There is a property called the "Negative property of exponents" which states the following:


b^(-n)=(1)/(b^n)

Where
b \\eq0

As you can observe,
b^n is the reciprocal of
b^(-n)

In this case you have the following expression given in the exercise:


n^(-6)p^3

Observe the expression. As you can notice, the base "n" has a negative exponent, which is -6.

Therefore, applying the Negative property of exponents explained at the beginning of this explanation, you can simplify the expression.

Then, the simplified form of
n^(-6p^3) is the one shown below:


n^(-6)p^3=(p^3)/(n^(6))
