Find th numerical equivalent of 9^9 •9 ^-6

1 answer

To find the numerical equivalent of 9^9 • 9^-6, we first need to simplify the exponents.

9^9 = 387,420,489 (since 9 multiplied by itself 9 times)

9^-6 = 1/9^6 = 1/(9^2 • 9^2 • 9^2) = 1/6561 (since 9 multiplied by itself 6 times is 9^6)

Therefore, 9^9 • 9^-6 = 387,420,489 • 1/6561

Simplifying further, we divide 387,420,489 by 6,561:

387,420,489 ÷ 6,561 = 59,049 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

So, the numerical equivalent of 9^9 • 9^-6 is approximately 59,049.
