When there is a negative exponent, make the exponent positive and put everything under 1.
3^-6
1 / 3^6
1 / 729
So, when the exponent is positive we think about it like multiplication and when the exponent is negative, we think about it like division.

3^–6 = (1/3)^6 = 1/3^6 =1/729
= 3^(–2 Ã 3) = 9^(– 3) = 1/9^3 =1/729

3^-6 = (1/3)^6 = 1/3^6 =1/729.
Pick any one of these, they're all equivalent.
