Question

How would you evaluate the expression for 4x to the power of -6y to the power of -2?

Answer 1

So that would look like:

Answer 2

$$4x^{-6y^{-2}}$$

Answer 3

So it depends on what you mean by `how would you evaluate that'. Negative powers generally means putting the value in a denominator; e.g.:

Answer 4

$$\frac{1}{4x^{\frac{1}{6y^2}}}$$

Answer 5

(4x)^{(-6y)^{2}} so that could be written as (4x)^{36y^{2}}

Answer 6

$$(4x)^{36y ^{2}}$$

Answer 7

I agree with the 36 in TBates's answer, but I believe the negative sign on the 2 was lost.
