+%28%28-9x%5E3%29%5E2%29%2A%28-1%2F9%29%2Ax%5E6+
If you have something that looks like %28a%5Eb%29%5Ecyou just
multiply the exponents %28a%5Eb%29%5Ec+=+a%5E%28b%2Ac%29. As a numerical
example: %28x%5E3%29%5E4+=+%28x%5E3%29%2A%28x%5E3%29%2A%28x%5E3%29%2A%28x%5E3%29 and
so,
%28x%5E3%29%5E4+=+x%5E12

You should know that %28a%5Eb%29%2A%28a%5Ec%29+=+a%5E%28b%2Bc%29
%28%28-9%29%5E2%29%2A%28x%5E6%29%2A%28x%5E6%29%2A%28-1%2F9%29+=+81%2A%28-1%2F9%29%2Ax%5E12
+81%2A%28-1%2F9%29%2Ax%5E12+=+-9%2A%28x%5E12%29 answer
