Which of the following is equivalent to \((\frac{1}{3})^{-4}*(\frac{1}{9})^{-3}*(\frac{1}{27})^{-2}\)?

A. \((\frac{1}{3})^{-8}\)

B. \((\frac{1}{3})^{-9}\)

C. \((\frac{1}{3})^{-16}\)

D. \((\frac{1}{3})^{-18}\)

E. \((\frac{1}{3})^{-144}\)


Kudos for a correct solution.


1/a^-m = a^m.
So the equivalent form is 3^4 * 9^3 * 27^2= 3^4 * 3^6* 3^6= 3^16

The equivalent in answer form is D 1/3^-16

\((\frac{1}{3})^{-4}*(\frac{1}{9})^{-3}*(\frac{1}{27})^{-2}\)
\((\frac{1}{3})^{-4}*(\frac{1}{3})^{-3*2}*(\frac{1}{3})^{-2*3}\)
\((\frac{1}{3})^{-4}*(\frac{1}{3})^{-6}*(\frac{1}{3})^{-6}\)
\((\frac{1}{3})^{-4-6-6}\)
\((\frac{1}{3})^{-16}\)
