Simplify (3^n × 9^(n+1)) / (3^(n-1) × 9^(n-1))

Simplify: \(\frac{3^n \times 9^{n+1}}{3^{n-1} \times 9^{n-1}}\)

Solution

\[ = \frac{3^n \cdot (3^2)^{n+1}}{3^{n-1} \cdot (3^2)^{n-1}} \]

\[ = \frac{3^n \cdot 3^{2n+2}}{3^{n-1} \cdot 3^{2n-2}} \]

\[ = 3^{\,n+2n+2-(n-1+2n-2)} \]

\[ = 3^{\,3n+2-(3n-3)} = 3^5 \]

\[ = 243 \]

Final Answer:

\[ \boxed{243} \]
