Please show me how you worked these out...it confuses me..thanks Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
Remember when you multiply, you ADD exponents:
The answer is B.
2) (-3x / 2y^3)^-2
When you raise a fraction to a negative power, you invert the fraction. When you raise a fraction to the 2 power you square the fraction. This means that in raising to the -2 power, you must invert and square:
