Answer: The required quotient is
-2x^9.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the following quotient :


Q=-(8x^6)/(4x^(-3))~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`(i)

We will be using the following property of exponents :


(x^a)/(x^b)=x^(a-b).

Therefore, from equation (i), we get


Q\\\\\\=-(8x^6)/(4x^(-3))\\\\\\=-2x^(6-(-3))\\\\=-2x^(6+3)\\\\=-2x^9.

Thus, the required quotient is
-2x^9.
