how to solve when there is a negative exponent
2x3 y0 . x2 y-2
_____________
(2y3)-2
Negative exponents becom positive exponents when they are move into the numerator from denominator or vice versa
y^0 = 1 also so you will have this
2x^3 * x^2 y^-2 / ((2y^3)-2 ) = 2 x^3 *x^2 * (2y^3)^2 / y^2 = 2 x^5 * 4 y^6 /y^2 = 8 x^5 y^4
