Answer:

6/x^2

1/(fg)

1/y^3

1/125.

1/9

-1/8

Explanation:

6x^-2 can be simplified to 6/x^2, since a negative exponent means "inverse".

f^-1g^-1 can be simplified to 1/(fg), since a negative exponent means "inverse".

y^-3 can be simplified to 1/y^3, since a negative exponent means "inverse".

5^-3 can be simplified to 1/5^3, which is equal to 1/125.

3^-2 can be simplified to 1/3^2, which is equal to 1/9.

(-2)^-3 can be simplified to -1/2^3, which is equal to -1/8. When a negative exponent is applied to a negative base, it is important to remember that the negative sign remains.
