(-7xy^-3)^-4 then there is the bar and on the bottom of the bar it's (xy^-3)^-9
I really hope this makes sense.. It is -7xy to the negative 3 and then exponent on outside of parentheses is a -4. Then on the bottom it says xy to the negative 3rd and then outside of parantheses exponent is negative 9. Thanks so much!
