Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When you raise a fraction to a negative exponent, you invert the fraction and change the sign of the exponent. Here, each factor in the fraction gets raised to the power of -6, flipping the base's exponent sign.

Simplify - (xy4w6z)−6\left( \frac { x y ^ { 4 } } { w ^ { 6 } z } \right) ^ { - 6 }(w6zxy4​)−6

Simplify
- $\left( \frac { x y ^ { 4 } } { w ^ { 6 } z } \right) ^ { - 6 }$
