Okay so you are given: \[\large (5a^3b^2)^2*(-a)^{-2}*b \] Start by distributing out the exponent on the left and simplifying the negative \[\Huge (5^2a^{3*2}b^{2*2})*\frac{1}{(-a)^2}*b \] Now simplify \[\Large 25a^6b^4*\frac{1}{a^2}*b \] \[\Large \frac{25a^6b^4*b}{a^2} \] Combine the b's and subtract the a's \[\Large 25a^{6-2}b^{4+1} \] and you end up with \[\Large 25 a^4b^5\]
