@phi can you help?

OpenStudy (phi):

the easiest way is to multiply 3/5 times each of the exponents inside the parens (the exponents are the small numbers in the upper right) to get new exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know what exponents are lol so \[x ^{9}y ^{3}\]?

OpenStudy (phi):

3/5 * 15 = 3*3 = 9 and 3/5 * 5 = 3*1 = 3 yes you got it
