Answer:

For 3^-6 = 1/3^6 = 726 and for 3^-4 = 1/3^4 = 81

Explanation:

ARE THE NUMBERS SEPARATED OR THEY ARE TO BE JOIN TOGETHER,IF THERE ARE SEPARATED THE SOLUTION IS GOING TO BE...

3^-6

using law of indices x^-a = 1/x^a

So 3^-6 = 1/3^6

Now find the power of 3^6

which is the same as 3×3×3×3×3×3 = 729

therefore 1/3^6 = 729

For 3^-4

using the above method

3^-4 is same as 1/3^4

which is equal to

finding the nominator

3×3×3×3 = 81

so the answer is 81
