9^2/9^7
when dividing powers, we subtract the exponents
9^(2-7)
9^ (-5)
a negative exponent flips from the numerator to the denominator
1/ 9^5
Choice D
The answer is 1. 9 over 9 is a whole, which is one. 1 to the second power is 1. 1 to the 7th power is 1. No matter how many exponents you put on 1, it will always stay one. So the answer is 1.
