Hi,
I need help simplifying this exponent:
(3x^-2 y^4)^-3
Now i know that the answer is: x^6/27y^12 but I can't seem to figure out the steps. I feel like im doing it completely wrong and would like to know how to do this the right way.
I know as far as needing to make the negative exponents positive like x^-2 = 1/x^2 but i don't know what to do with the negative exponent outside the parenthesis.
Please help! thank you.
