Multiplying and Dividing Exponents are very easy.
When they are multiplied, we add the exponent numbers together.
When they are divided, we subtract the exponent numbers.
In this example,
h^(-18)* h^3/
h^(0)
We can conclude that
h^(0) is 1 because,
any number to the power of 0 is 1

( h^(-18)* h^(3) )/(1)=
h^(-18) * h^(3)
take the exponents alone:
-18+3 (Because it is multiplication) =-15
Final answer:
h^(-15)
