Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
When using exponents, the exponent represents how many times you'll multiply the number by itself.
So 4^9 = 4 * 4 * 4 * 4... and so on. And 4^6 = 4 * 4 * 4 * 4... and so on, but with three less 4's than 4^9 since 6 is three less than 9.
So that means 4^9 has 3 more 4's than 4^6. So you need to multiply 4 by 3 to get the answer.
4*3 = 12
Hope this helps.
