Answer:

The correct answer option is
(25)/(9) .

Explanation:

We are given the following expression and we are to evaluate it when
a = 5 and
k = -2 :

[(3^2a^(-2))/(3a^(-1)) ]^k

Substituting the given values of
and
to get:

[(3^2(5)^(-2))/(3(5)^(-1)) ]^(-2)

(3^((2* -2)).5^((1*-2)))/(3^((-1*-2)).5^((2*-2)))

(3^(-4).5^(-2))/(3^(-2).5^(-4))

3^(-2).5^2

$\frac { 1 } { 3 ^ 2 } . 2$

$\frac { 1 } { 9 } . 2 5$

$\frac { 2 5 } { 9 }$
