Write in simplest form

Question

(x^2/3y^-1/4)^-4

Answer 1

• (x^2/3y^-1/4)^-4
• x^-8/3y¹     ~  multiply the -4 by each of the original exponents for x and y
• y/x^8/3       ~  move anything with a negative exponent to the other part of the fraction, in this case numerator to denominator.

 

Without numbers, this is your simplest form:  y/x^8/3
