Rewrite the expression without using negative exponents. (Assume all variables represent nonzero real numbers.)
-$\frac { a ^ { 2 } } { b ^ { - 4 } }$
A) $a ^ { 2 } b ^ { 4 }$
B) $\frac { b ^ { 4 } } { a ^ { 2 } }$
C) 1
D) $\left( \frac { a } { b } \right) ^ { - 2 }$

To rewrite the expression without negative exponents, you move the term with the negative exponent to the opposite part of the fraction. Thus, $b^{-4}$ becomes $b^4$ in the numerator, resulting in $a^2b^4$.
