Question

I need help (and explanation) of how to solve this expresion, giving an answer without negative exponents

Answer 1

SUre. What's the problem?

Answer 2

\[\left( \left( -4x ^{4}y ^{-2} \right)\div \left( 5x ^{-1}y ^{4} \right) \right)^{-4}\]

You dont need to solve

Answer 3

Just explain me how to do it (which is the order)

Answer 4

Basically, whenever you have a negative exponent when there's one term over another, then the terms switch places from top to bottom.

Answer 5

First distribute the -4 exponent.

Answer 6

ok...shouldnt it be first to divide?

Answer 7

I guess you could. Yeah. It would be easier that way. Start inside out.

Answer 8

Just set up a huge fraction to start off.
