Answer:


-(3p^8)/(4q^3)

Explanation:

One is given the following expression,


(15p^-^4q^-^6)/(-20p^-^1^2q^-^3)

Since (15) and (-20) are both divisible by (5), one can divide both terms by (5) to simplify it.


(3p^-^4q^-^6)/(-4p^-^1^2q^-^3)

Now bring all of the terms with a negative exponent to the numerator. Multiply the exponents by (-1), then add them to the exponents of the like term in the numerator. Simplify the resulting exponents


(3p^-^4q^-^6)/(-4p^-^1^2q^-^3)


(3p^-^4^+^(^-^1^)^(^-^1^2^)q^-^6^+^(^-^1^)^(^-^3^))/(-4)


(3p^-^4^+^1^2q^-^6^+^3)/(-4)


(3p^8q^-^3)/(-4)

Rewrite the fraction such that there are no negative exponents. Remember the rule, when bringing a number from the numerator to the denominator and back, multiply the exponent of the number by (-1). One can only switch numbers between the numerator and the denominator when all operations are multiplication or division.


(3p^8q^-^3)/(-4)


-(3p^8)/(4q^3)
