The denominator contains negative exponents. Using the negative exponent rule, multiply the denominator by -1 and then reverse the fraction and multiply.

The denominator becomes x^3y^4

The problem then becomes -3x^6y^4 times x^3y^2

When multiplying exponents add them together:

The final answer is -3x^9y^6
