Q. Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 93694\frac{9^{36}}{9^{-4}}.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 9409^{-40}\newline(B) 999^{-9}\newline(C) 1940\frac{1}{9^{-40}}\newline(D) 199\frac{1}{9^{-9}}
  1. Understand operation with exponents: Understand the operation to perform with the exponents.\newlineWhen dividing powers with the same base, we subtract the exponents according to the rule aman=a(mn)\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{(m-n)}.
  2. Calculate result of 93694\frac{9^{36}}{9^{-4}}: Calculate the result of 93694\frac{9^{36}}{9^{-4}} by subtracting the exponents.\newline93694=9(36(4))=9(36+4)=940\frac{9^{36}}{9^{-4}} = 9^{(36 - (-4))} = 9^{(36 + 4)} = 9^{40}
  3. Determine equivalence of given choices: Determine if the given choices are equivalent to 9409^{40}.\newline- 9409^{-40} is not equivalent because it represents 1940\frac{1}{9^{40}}.\newline- 999^{-9} is not equivalent because it represents 199\frac{1}{9^{9}}.\newline- 1940\frac{1}{9^{-40}} is equivalent because it represents 9409^{40}.\newline- 199\frac{1}{9^{-9}} is not equivalent because it represents 999^{9}.
