Simplify. Do not use negative exponents in your answer
3x^-5/y^-6z^-4
3x%5E-5%2Fy%5E-6z%5E-4
Multiply NUM and DEN by x^5
= 3%2Fx%5E5y%5E-6z%5E-4
Do the same for the y and z terms.
= 3y%5E6%2Fx%5E5z%5E-4
= 3y%5E6z%5E4%2Fx%5E5
--------------------
Notice that moving a term from NUM to DEN or v.v. changes the sign of its exponent.
