Answer: The simplified form is [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
[tex]3^{-2}[/tex]
As we know the "Exponential law":
[tex]a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a^m}[/tex]
So, it becomes
[tex]3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3^2}[/tex]
Now, at last it becomes,
[tex]3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3\times 3}=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
Hence, the simplified form is [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
