You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember that X%5E%28-1%29 = 1%2Fx and vice-versa.
So now re-arranging the given problem, keepin in mind the above statement
%286y%5E3y%5E2%2Fxx%5E2%29%2A%281%2Fxy%5E2%284x%5E2y%29%5E2%29
Adding the exponents for the common terms
%286y%5E5%2Fx%5E3%29%2A%281%2Fxy%5E2%2816%28x%5E4%29%28y%5E2%29%29%29
Can you solve it from here??
