Question 638560

I really need some help. I really appreciate it. Simply the following expression, and rewrite it in equivalent form with positive exponents. -16x^-1y^-3 / 80x^-4y^-3. Thank you in advance.


Considering that you didn't use parentheses, I suspect that the negative exponents "belong" to the variables, as follows:


{{{((-16x^-1)(y^-3))/((80x^-4)(y^-3))}}} ---- {{{((-cross(16)x^(- 1 - - 4))(cross(y^-3)))/((5cross(80)cross(x^-4))cross((y^-3)))}}} ----- {{{highlight_green(- x^3/5)}}}
