[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To simplify this expression, we will first expand the terms within the parentheses and then multiply them together.

(6x^-2)^2 = 36x^-4
(0.5x)^4 = 0.0625x^4

Now, multiply the two simplified expressions together:
36x^-4 * 0.0625x^4
= 36 * 0.0625 * x^-4 * x^4
= 2.25
