Answer:

__________

x^6 y^3

Explanation:

If x=-1 and y = 3. what is the value of 5x^-6y^-2/y?

Important: if you're working with negative exponents, please enclose them inside parentheses:

5x^(-6) y^(-2) / y^(1) 1

First, the y terms become ------------- = 1 / y^3

y^2 * y

5

Then 5x^(-6) y^(-2) / y^(1) becomes ------------- (answer)

x^6 y^3
