Answer:

The solution to the given expression is 1/2562890625

Explanation:

(3⁴ × 5⁴)⁻²

Simplify the terms inside the parentheses. 3⁴ × 5⁴ is the same as 15⁴ because even though the base numbers are different, the exponents are the same which makes it similar.

(15⁴)⁻²

Now, for this step, we are going to add the exponents because when multiplying, the exponential numbers add together. So 4 × -2 = -8.

15⁻⁸

Since we can not have a negative exponent, we are going to change this into a fraction. We do this by putting this term in a fraction where 1 is the numerator and the term is the denominator.

1 / 15⁻⁸

Now, we simplify the term on the bottom.

1 / 2562890625

So, this is the solution to the problem.
