document.write( "Question 268289: Hi I need help with an example problem so I can do all the other problems. The problem is p to the power of negative 3, times q to the power of negative two, all over q to the power of negative 3, times r to the power of five. This is all to the power of 4. I get most of these problems, but I don't get the more complicated ones. Could you work it out step by step? \n" ); document.write( "
