Answer:

(2/x²y³)

Explanation:

(2(x^-2)y)/(y^4)

x^-2 can also be written as (1/x²)

(2(1/x²)y)/(y^4)

(2/x²)(y)/(y^4)

(2y/x²)/(y^4)

this can also be written as (2y/x²) × (1/y^4)

= 2y/(x² × y^4)

WHEN THE SAME VARIABLE IS DIVIDED THEIR POWERS ARE SUBTRACTED

= (2/x²y³) (we got y³ by y^1 /y^4 The powers got subtracted)
