#=p^9q^6#

Explanation:

basically when dealing with indices, when a number or pro-numeral share the same base, if you multiply the bases you add the powers and if you divide the bases you subtract the powers.

  • For this question, p is on its own, but there are 2 q's. Since they share the same base (q) and are being multiplied by each other, you just add the powers.

#p^9.q^2.q^4=p^9.q^(2+4)=p^9q^6#
