Answer:

(4)^5

Explanation:

When multiplying expressions with exponents you add the exponents together so in this equation you would get -4^11/-4^6. However since both exponent have the same base (-4) you can simplify it farther. When dividing expression with exponents you subtract the exponents. So, here, you would get 4^5.

Hope that helps! :)
