To simplify the expression \((p^9)^{-2}\), we use the properties of exponents. Specifically, we can use the property that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).
Following this property:
\((p^9)^{-2} = p^{9 \cdot -2} = p^{-18}\).
Now, applying the property of negative exponents, \(a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}\):
\(p^{-18} = \frac{1}{p^{18}}\).
So, the simplified form of the expression \((p^9)^{-2}\) is \(\frac{1}{p^{18}}\).
