You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember if you have something like $\"x%5E-2\"$ the negative exponent tells you to invert the base, so it becomes $\"1%2Fx%5E2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So that means $\"%28-3x%29%5E-2\"$ becomes $\"1%2F%28-3x%29%5E2\"$ . Now square the denominator to get $\"1%2F9x%5E2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
