Express answers with positive exponents %28%28x%5E-2y%5E-1%29%2F%282X%5E0y%5E3%29%29%5E3
and term with a 0 exponent equal 1, therefore
%28%28x%5E-2y%5E-1%29%2F%282y%5E3%29%29%5E3
The reciprocal gets rid the the neg exponent, combine the exponents of like terms
%281%2F%282x%5E2y%5E%28%283%2B1%29%29%29%29%5E3 = %281%2F%282x%5E2y%5E4%29%29%5E3
Multiply the exponents inside by 3 and 2^3
%281%2F%288x%5E6y%5E12%29%29
