First, rearrange, to remove the negative powers on the outside of the 3 brackets:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%286xy%5E2%29%2F%28%28-2x%5E2y%5E-3%29%5E2%283x%5E-1y%29%5E4%29+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "lets just do each of the 3 main brackets individually first:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28-2x%5E2y%5E-3%29%5E2\"$ --> $\"4x%5E4y%5E-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283x%5E-1y%29%5E4\"$ --> $\"81x%5E%28-4%29y%5E4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%286xy%5E2%29+\"$ --> unchanged\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so we get $\"+%286xy%5E2%29%2F%28%284x%5E4y%5E-6%29%2881x%5E%28-4%29y%5E4%29%29+\"$ which then becomes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%286xy%5E2%29%2F%28324y%5E-2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%286xy%5E2%2Ay%5E2%29%2F%28324%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%286xy%5E4%29%2F%28324%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28xy%5E4%29%2F%2854%29+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "jon.
