First part

numerator f cubed g to the power of negative 2

The numerator can be written as


f^3g^(-2)

Second part

denorminator h raised to the power of negative 1

The numerator can be written as


h^(-1)

combining part one and two

Open parentheses fraction - fraction - close parentheses to the power of 4

This gives


((f^3g^(-2))/(h^(-1)))^4

simplifying the expression to remove negative exponent

Simplifying the numerator


\begin{gathered} f^3g^(-2)=f^3* g^(-2) \\ f^3g^(-2)=f^3*(1)/(g^2) \\ f^3g^(-2)\text{ = }(f^3)/(g^2) \end{gathered}

simplfying the denorminator


h^(-1)\text{ = }(1)/(h)

combining simplfied values for numerator and denorminator in the general form we have


\begin{gathered} ((f^3g^(-2))/(h^(-1)))^4\text{ = }(((f^3)/(g^2))/((1)/(h)))^4 \\ ((f^3g^(-2))/(h^(-1)))^4=\text{ (}(f^3)/(g^2)* h)^4\text{ } \\ ((f^3g^(-2))/(h^(-1)))^4\text{ = (}(f^3h)/(g^2))^4 \end{gathered}

Hence, the simplified form of the expression is


((f^3h)/(g^2))^4
