Write with positive exponents: (3^-3 a^-2 b^5)÷(c^-3 d^-4)
we can write this:
%283%5E-3%2Aa%5E-2%2Ab%5E5%29%2F%28c%5E-3%2Ad%5E-4%29
writing the reciprocal get rid of the neg exponent for example: x^-2 = 1%2Fx%5E2
write the reciprocal of each term that has a neg exponent
%28c%5E3%2Ad%5E4%2Ab%5E5%29%2F%283%5E3%2Aa%5E2%29
