It may help to turn all exponents into positives, like this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2AP%5E3%2AY%5E5%2Fx%5E2%29%5E%28-2%29\"*\"%283%2F%28x%2Ay%29%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Next, notice the first parenthesis still has a big negative exponents on the outside. We will flip that fraction and call the exponent regular 2, like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28X%5E2+%2F+%283%2Ap%5E3%2AY%5E5%29%29%5E2\" * \"%283%2F%28x%2Ay%29%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we can apply the powers using the power rule - when you raise a power to a power, you multiply the exponents.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"X%5E4+%2F+%283%5E2%2Ap%5E6%2AY%5E10%29%29\" * \"3%5E2%2F%28x%5E2%2Ay%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "It might be hard to see here, but the 3^2 drop out as do an X^2 piece. THis leaves us with
\n" ); document.write( "\"+X%5E2+%2F+%28P%5E6%2AY%5E12%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
