Answer:

The answer is option 2, by simplifying 9 to 3² to make both powers base 3 and subtracting the exponents.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to make the expressions into the same base :

[tex] \frac{ {3}^{4} }{9} = \frac{ {3}^{4} }{ {3}^{2} } [/tex]

Next, you have to apply Indices Law :

[tex] {a}^{m} \div {a}^{n} \: ⇒ \: {a}^{m - n} [/tex]

[tex] {3}^{4} \div {3}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] = {3}^{4 - 2} [/tex]

[tex] = {3}^{2} [/tex]

By simplifying 9 to 3² to make both the powers base 3 as well as subtracting the exponents. A further explanation of the given question is below.

According to the question,

The equation will be:

→ [tex]\frac{(3)^4}{9} = \frac{(3)^4}{(3)^2}[/tex]

By applying the Indices law i.e.,

→ [tex]\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}[/tex]

then, we get

→ [tex]\frac{3^4}{3^2}[/tex]

→ [tex]3^{4-2}[/tex]

By subtracting the powers, we get

→ [tex]3^2[/tex]

Thus the above answer i.e., option B) is the correct approach.
