Answer

$\frac{36}{w^{6}}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(-\frac{w^3}{6})^{-2}$ Use $(\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}$. $=\frac{(-w^3)^{-2}}{6^{-2}}$ Use $a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$. $=\frac{6^{2}}{(-w^3)^{2}}$ Use $(a^m)^n=a^{m\cdot n}$. $=\frac{6^{2}}{w^{3\cdot 2}}$ Use $6^2=36$. $=\frac{36}{w^{6}}$.
