Simplify. Express your answer with positive exponents. Assume that all variables are nonzero.
-$\frac { 3 x ^ { - 2 } y ^ { - 2 } } { 8 z ^ { - 5 } }$
A) $\frac { 3 z ^ { 5 } } { 8 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } }$
B) $\frac { 8 z ^ { 5 } } { 3 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } }$
C) $\frac { 3 } { 8 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } z ^ { 5 } }$
D) $\frac { 32,768 z ^ { 5 } } { 9 x ^ { 2 } y ^ { 2 } }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To simplify the expression with positive exponents, move the variables with negative exponents to the opposite part of the fraction. This results in $3z^5$ in the numerator and $8x^2y^2$ in the denominator.
