To convert negative exponents to positive exponents, take the reciprocal of the term with a positive exponent.
Example #1: a^-1 = a^-1/1 = 1/a^1
.
Example #2: b^-2 = b^-2/1 = 1/b^2
.
a^-5b^4c^-2d
.
=b^4d/a^5c^2
..
I took only the reciprocal of a^-5 and c^-2 because these were the only terms that contained a negative exponent.
