~\hspace{7em}\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^(-n) \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} ~\hspace{4.5em} a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^(-n)} ~\hspace{4.5em} \cfrac{a^n}{a^m}\implies a^na^(-m)\implies a^(n-m) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{y^(-5)}{x^(-3)}\implies \cfrac{y^(-5)}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^(-3)}\implies \cfrac{1}{y^5}\cdot \cfrac{x^3}{1}\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} \cfrac{x^3}{y^5} \end{array}}
