Answer:

Negative StartFraction 1 Over 27 EndFraction

(-1/27)

Explanation:

Given expression

(P^-5)(p^-4)(q^3)

When

P=3 and q=-9

(P^-5)(p^-4)(q^3)

=(3^-5)(3^-4)(-9^3)

=(1/3^5)(1/3^4)(-9^3)

=(1/243)(1/81)(-729)

Multiply all numerators

We have,

= (-729)/(243)(81)

Multiply all denominators

= -729/19,683

= -1/27

Negative StartFraction 1 Over 27 EndFraction
