The answer is [(10,000*y^16)/t^16]. At first, you have to distribute the exponent -4 to the numerator and denominator by virtue of the law of exponent, (a/b)^n = [(a^n)/(b^n)]. After distribution, you get (t^-16)/[(10^-4)*(y^-16)]. To simplify the negative exponent, follow the law of exponent: a^-m = 1/a^m. Thus, you now have [(10^4)*(y^16)]/(t^16). Hence, the answer is [(10,000*y^16)/t^16].
