A negative exponent means use the reciprocal.
\n" ); document.write( "In the case of x/y it becomes y/x
\n" ); document.write( "In the case of z It becomes 1/z
\n" ); document.write( "and in the case of 1/w it becomes w
\n" ); document.write( " Let's start with the numerator where every term has a negative exponent.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%282%5E-3%2Ax%5E-4%2Ay%5E-3%29%2F%28x%5E3%2Ay%5E-2%29%5E-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F%282%5E3%2Ax%5E4%2Ay%5E3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "But we also notice that the entire denominator has a negative exponent.
\n" ); document.write( "So the fraction becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E3%2Ay%5E-2%29%2F%282%5E3%2Ax%5E4%2Ay%5E3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But the y term in the numerator has a negative exponent.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E3%2F%282%5E3%2Ax%5E4%2Ay%5E3%2Ay%5E2%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have dealt with all the negative exponents. Now to reduce and combine
\n" ); document.write( "2^3=8
\n" ); document.write( "x^3/x^4=1/x
\n" ); document.write( "y^2*y^3=y^5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F%288xy%5E5%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
