Answer:
A. 1/7^8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(7^-6) / 7²
Both numerator and denominator has the same base, so just one of the bases will be picked
Division sign changes to minus in indices
(7^-6) / 7²
= 7 ^(-6-2)
= 7^-8
= 1/7^8
Note: a^-b
= 1/a^b
The same rule is used at the last step of the calculation
Answer is
A. 1/7^8
