To change the sign of an exponent, you need to 'move the term' to the other side of the divide sign
h%5E%28-10%29+%2F+%288+%2A+a%28-9%29%29+ so move the h term in the numerator down to the denominator and change the sign. Move the a term up to the numerator and change the sign .. as follows
a%5E9%2F+%288%2A+h%5E%2810%29%29+
