1. Problem Description

The problem is to simplify the expression (3(6))3(-3 \cdot (-6))^{-3}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
3(6)=18-3 \cdot (-6) = 18.
So the expression becomes (18)3(18)^{-3}.
Using the rule an=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}, we have:
(18)3=1183(18)^{-3} = \frac{1}{18^3}.
Now we calculate 18318^3:
183=181818=32418=583218^3 = 18 \cdot 18 \cdot 18 = 324 \cdot 18 = 5832.
Therefore, the expression simplifies to:
15832\frac{1}{5832}.

3. Final Answer

15832\frac{1}{5832}
