What is...

$9 \times 3 ^{ - 2}$
Please include the method with your answer. Thank you.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 9 x 3⁻² = x

In a formula about laws of exponents, any number raised to a negative power, will be a reciprocal and raised to the base of that power.

That is, n⁻ᵃ = 1/nᵃ.

So converting 3⁻², we get 1/9.

Now, 9 x 1/9 = x

Solving for x:

9/9 = x

x = 1

Hope this helps!
