Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer would be option D

edit: the answer is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A and B is cancelled because the absolute values of the products are the same, it's just that they are on the wrong side, the numerator's spot is in the denominator's.

It's not Option C, a positive denominator to a negative power can't make it possible.

Option D is the correct answer simply because it's correct

Answer 2

Answer: Choice B)  256/81

Explanation:

The negative exponent tells us to apply the reciprocal to make the exponent positive. The rule is

(a/b)^(-c) = (b/a)^c

In this case,

a = 9

b = 16

c = 2

(9/16)^(-2) = (16/9)^2

Then we square each piece

16^2 = 16*16 = 256

9^2 = 9*9 = 81

So (16/9)^2 = 256/81 which means (9/16)^(-2) = 256/81
