((3xy^(-2))/(x^(3)))
Reduce the expression (3xy^(-2))/(x^(3)) by removing a factor of x from the numerator and denominator.
((3y^(-2))/(x^(2)))
Remove the negative exponent in the numerator by rewriting (3y^(-2))/(x^(2)) as (3)/(x^(2)(y^(2))). A negative exponent follows the rule: a^(-n)=(1)/(a^(n)).
((3)/(x^(2)(y^(2))))
Remove the negative exponent in the denominator by rewriting (3y^(-2))/(x^(2)) as (3)/(x^(2)(y^(2))). A negative exponent follows the rule: a^(-n)=(1)/(a^(n)).
((3)/(x^(2)y^(2)))
Remove the parentheses around the expression (3)/(x^(2)y^(2)).
3/x^2y^2 = Answer
