t^-6/7s^2, i understand that the t^-6 moves to the denominator and s^2 becomes the numerator
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "No, only the t^6 is inverted; the s^2 stays where it is.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "= 1/[7s^2t*6]
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Why does the 7 stay in the denominator, s^2/ 7t^-6.
\n" ); document.write( "The 7 does not have a negative exponent: only the \"t\".
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
