The negative in the exponent switches the expression in question from the numerator to the denominator, or vice versa. In this situation, the expression starts in the numerator, so it moves to the denominator. Therefore, 3-2 is the same as 1/(32). Raising 3 to the 2 power gives you 9, so the final answer is 1/9.
