Answer:


(1)/(6^(7))

Explanation:


6^(-7) is the same as
(1)/(6^(7)) because the negative power (or exponent) tells us to find the reciprocal of the base number (in other words, turn it into a fraction in the form 1/x).

a = 6 and n = 7 which is greater than 1

Hope this helps!

6^(-7) = 6^(0-7) =(6^0)/(6^7) = \frac 1{6^7}
