1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{w^3}{w^{-3}}$$.
2. **Recall the rule for division of exponents with the same base:** When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents:
$$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$$.
3. **Apply the rule:**
$$\frac{w^3}{w^{-3}} = w^{3 - (-3)}$$
4. **Simplify the exponent:**
$$3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6$$
5. **Final simplified expression:**
$$w^6$$
So, $$\frac{w^3}{w^{-3}} = w^6$$.
