SOLUTION: Here is the problem: (4a^2b^3)^-2 (2ab^-1)^3/(a^3b)^-4 The steps I use are: (4^-2a^-4b^-6)(2^3^-3)/(a^-12b^-4) Flip the negatives: (a^12b^4)(8)/16a^4b^6b^3 Simplify and I

Question 888110: Here is the problem: (4a^2b^3)^-2 (2ab^-1)^3/(a^3b)^-4
The steps I use are: (4^-2a^-4b^-6)(2^3^-3)/(a^-12b^-4)
Flip the negatives: (a^12b^4)(8)/16a^4b^6b^3
Simplify and I get: 8a^8/16b^5

but the book say the correct answer is a^11/2b^5
