To apply the properties of integer exponents, we can use the rule that states that when multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.
So, 37⋅3^(-9) can be rewritten as (3^7)⋅(3^(-9)).
Using the rule mentioned earlier, we can add the exponents:
3^7⋅3^(-9) = 3^(7 + (-9))
Now, simplifying the exponent:
3^(7 + (-9)) = 3^(-2)
Therefore, 37⋅3^(-9) is equivalent to 3^(-2).
We can further simplify 3^(-2) by using another exponent property, which states that any non-zero number raised to the power of -n is equal to the reciprocal of that number raised to the power of n.
So, 3^(-2) is equivalent to 1/(3^2).
Since 3^2 equals 9, the simplified expression is:
1/9.
