Question 644891: Select the correct alternative with positive exponent only. Assume the variables represents a nonzero real number (x^-4y^2)^-3
1/x^7y
9/x^7y
x^12/y^6
x^12y^6
I have answered x^12y^6 and I wonder if I got it right? Thank you

Select the correct alternative with positive exponent only. Assume the variables represents a nonzero real number (x^-4y^2)^-3
1/x^7y
9/x^7y
x^12/y^6
x^12y^6
I have answered x^12y^6 and I wonder if I got it right? Thank you

You're almost right. It should be x%5E12y%5E-6, but since you need positive exponents, it's: x%5E12%2Fy%5E6

%28x%5E-4y%5E2%29%5E-3

%28x%5E%28-+4%2A+-+3%29+y%5E%282+%2A+-+3%29%29

x%5E12y%5E-+6
