What is the value of (3^6\div9^2)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 9
Rewrite the denominator with the same base: \(9^2=(3^2)^2=3^4\). Therefore, \(3^6\div9^2=3^6\div3^4=3^{6-4}=3^2=9\). Hence, option C is correct. Exam tip: When powers with the same base are divided, subtract their exponents.
