Answer

$9x^{8}y^{12}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (i) The products-to-powers rule states that: $(ab)^n=a^nb^n$ (ii) The power rule states that $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$ Use the products-to-powers rule to find: $=(-3)^2(x^4)^2(y^6)^2 \\=9(x^4)^2(y^6)^2$ Use the power rule to find: $=9x^{4(2)}y^{6(2)} \\=9x^{8}y^{12}$
