    Focus on one million first: 10^6 = 1,000,000.

    Then it becomes obvious that 3^6 is less than one million, because the base 3 is smaller than the base 10 in 10^6.

    Next: 9^5: Both the base (9) and the exponent (5) are smaller than the base (10) and the exponent (6) of 10^6. What is your conclusion?
