Question 100148: Can someone please help me to simplify this without negative exponents?
(xy^5 / x^-4y^2)^-2
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(xy^5 / x^-4y^2)^-2
-----------------
Comment: The negative sign means "invert"; the 2 means "square"
1st: Invert to get:
(x^-4y^2/xy^5)^2
2nd: Square to get:
(x^-8 y^4 / x^2 y^10)
3rd: Simplify:
(y^4 / x^10 y^10)
