So %28b%5E4%29%28b%5E%28-6%29%29%5E%28-1%29=b%5E10


---------------

%28b%5E2%29%5E%28-2%29=b%5E%282%28-2%29%29=b%5E%28-4%29=1%2Fb%5E4


So %28b%5E2%29%5E%28-2%29=1%2Fb%5E4

The two's are exponents I couldn't make them small. The -1 is also a exponent
(b^4)(b^-6)^-1
= b^4*b^6
= b^10
--------------
(b^2)^-2
= b^-4
= 1/b^4
