%289x%5E-12y%5E6%29%2A%28-4x%5E1y%5E7%29

When you multiply with the same base number, you multiply the coefficients and you add the exponents.
-36+%2A%28x%5E-11%29+%2A%28y%5E13%29+

However, negative exponents are NOT allowed. To eliminate the negative exponents, remember that x%5E-11+=+1%2F%28x%5E11%29.
-36%2A%281%2F%28x%5E11%29%29%2Ay%5E13

%28-36y%5E13%29%2F+%28x%5E11%29
