$$\frac{3^{-4}*2^3*3^2}{2^4*3^{-3}}$$
is that what you are trying to simplify?

whpalmer4 · Answer

I would use the following properties of exponents to simplify this:

$$b^m*b^n = b^{m+n}$$
$$\frac{b^m}{b^n} = b^{m-n}$$
$$b^{-m} = \frac{1}{b^m}$$or$$b^m=\frac{1}{b^{-m}}$$
Don't forget that $b^1 = b$
