one fifth to the 2nd times one fifth to the 6th

9 to the 3rd over 9 to the 4th

Answer 1

if you multiply two numbers (of the same "base") you *add* their exponents.
the question asks about *multiplying exponents*

you multiply exponents
using this rule
\[ \left(a^b\right)^c = a^{bc} \]

Answer 2

in your answer choices, you should use ^ to show exponents
for example use 2^3 to show \(2^3\)
as posted, I can't tell what is or is not an exponent.

but maybe you can figure out the answer using the rule posted up above.
