Which of the following is equivalent to 6 ^ - 2 (1 point)
36
1/(2 ^ 6)
1/36
1/(6 ^ - 2)
1/(6 ^ - 2)
To find the equivalent expression for 6 ^ -2, we need to remember that a negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
So, 6 ^ -2 is equivalent to 1 / (6 ^ 2).
Now, simplifying 6 ^ 2:
6 ^ 2 = 6 × 6 = 36.
Therefore, the equivalent expression for 6 ^ -2 is 1 / 36.
So, the correct option is: 1/36.
