Question 673853
{{{((x^5)/((2y)^-2))^-4}}}
...
{{{((x^5)/(1/(2y)^2))^-4}}}
...
{{{((x^5)(2y)^2)^-4}}}
...
{{{(1/((x^5)(2y)^2)^4)}}}
...
{{{1/((4x^5y^2))^4}}}
when raising a power to a power, multiply them
{{{highlight_green(1/(256x^20y^8)))}}}
...
HOWEVER, if the original problem was:
{{{((x^5) / (2y^-2))^-4}}}
...
{{{((x^5) / (2/y^2))^-4}}}
...
{{{((x^5)(y^2/2))^-4}}}
...
{{{((x^5y^2)/2)^-4}}}
...
{{{(1/((x^5y^2)/2))^4}}}
...
{{{(1)(2/x^5y^2)^4}}}
...
{{{highlight_green(16/x^20y^8)}}}
