Question 888709
the expression is:


1/4x^-10y^14


putting parenthedses and operational symbols where i think they belong, i get:


(1/4) * x^(-10) * y^14


x^(-10) is equal to 1/x^10, so your expression becomes:


(1/4) * 1/x^10 * y^14


this is equivalent to (y^14)/(4*x^10)


it might be easier to see in writing.
