Please help me this math is timed it's in Algebra. I'll double points. 1. (x^-2 y^3)^-1 2. (5x^3/y^2)^4 3. 36x^3y^-3/6x^5y^-6 Maybe more, but right now that's it.

Answer:

1.
(x^2)/(y^3)

2.
(625x^(12))/(y^8)

3.
(6)/(x^2y^9)

Explanation:

Remember, when you exponent an exponent, you multiply the powers.

When you multiply exponents, you add them.

When you divide exponents, you subtract them.

1.

Step 1: Multiply exponents


x^2y^(-3)

Step 2: Move
y^(-3) to the denominator


(x^2)/(y^3)

2.

Step 1: Multiply exponents


(5^4(x^(3))^(4))/((y^2)^4)

Step 2: Power


(625x^(12))/(y^8)

3.

Step 1: Simplify


(6x^3y^(-3))/(x^5y^6)

Step 2: Remove terms


(6y^(-3))/(x^2y^6)

Step 3: Move
y^(-3) to the denominator


(6)/(x^2y^6y^3)

Step 4: Combine like terms


(6)/(x^2y^9)
