%28x%5E3%2Fx%5E-1%29%5E%28-1%2F4%29...first write x%5E-1 as 1%2Fx

%28x%5E3%2F%281%2Fx%29%29%5E%28-1%2F4%29 then do this part
%28x%5E4%29%5E%28-1%2F4%29 now, when you have this ^(-1/4) means %281%2Ffourth_+root_of_a_number%29; so, you will have
root%284%2Cx%5E4%29 ...since you have x%5E4 under fourth root, you just cancel root and exponent and result is:
x
