$\"x%5E3y%5E%28-3%29%2F%28xy%29%5E%28-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We start with the denominator. Using the $\"%28ab%29%5En+=+a%5En%2Ab%5En\"$ rule we get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3y%5E%28-3%29%2F%28x%5E%28-1%29y%5E%28-1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next we use the rule, $\"a%5Em%2Fa%5En+=+a%5E%28m-n%29\"$ , we get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%283-%28-1%29%29y%5E%28-3-%28-1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which simplifies to:
