For this case we have the following expression:
[tex](\frac {-27x ^ 0 * y ^ {- 2}} {54x ^ {- 5} * y ^ {- 4}}) ^ {- 2} =[/tex]
By definition we have to:
[tex]a^0= 1[/tex]
So:
[tex](\frac {-27y ^ {- 2}} {54x ^ {- 5} * y ^ {- 4}}) ^ {- 2} =[/tex]
Simplifying:
[tex](\frac {-y ^ {- 2}} {2x ^ {- 5} * y ^ {- 4}}) ^ {- 2} =[/tex]
By definition of power properties we have to:
[tex](a ^ n) ^ m = a ^ {n * m}[/tex]
So, rewriting the expression we have:
[tex]\frac {-y ^ {- 2 * -2}} {4x ^ {- 5 * -2} * y ^ {- 4 * -2}} =\\\frac {-y ^ {4}} {4x ^ {10} * y ^ {8}} =[/tex]
SImplifying:
[tex]\frac {-y ^ {4-8}} {4x ^ {10}} =\\\frac {-y ^ {- 4}} {4x ^ {10}} =\\- \frac {1} {4x ^ {10} y^ {4}}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]- \frac {1} {4x ^ {10} y ^ {4}}[/tex]
