Question 33533: Simplify the expression and write the answer without negative exponents.
(x-3y6)-1)
The x is to the negative 3rd power. The y is to the 6th power. The -1 at the end is to the negative 1st power. I do not know how to make the numbers smaller and go in the upper right corner. Thanks in advance.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the equation can be written as
(x^-3 y^6 )^-1. (^ means to the power )
I've a doubt in ur question ,whether there is a positive r negative sign r nothin between
x & y..
if there is no sign between them it is the product of x&y,
(x^-3 * y^6)^-1
i'll give u a very simple solution and other detailed solution..
the question says to simplify the expression and answer without negative exponents..

1. first simplify the expression within the bracket .
we get,
((1/x^3 )*y^6)^ -1 (x ^ -3 can be written as inverse of x^3 making it positive expo.)
then ,simplify again
=(y^6/x^3)^-1
this is nothing but,the inverse..so the answer is
= (x^3/y^6)

2. ANOTHER SIMPLE SOLUTION IS JUST BRING THE NEGATIVE EXPO -1 INSIDE AND MULTIPLY WITH THE OTHER EXPO. INSIDE TEH BRACKET.
that gives u,
x^3 y^-6
which is nothin but the x^3/y^6.

+%28x%5E%28-3%29y%5E6%29%5E%28-1%29+
+%28x%5E3y%5E%28-6%29%29+ is the answer.

However, the question stipulates no negative powers, so we need to re-write it as:
+%28x%5E3%2Fy%5E6%29+
