(25x[sup:1grcijd5]2[/sup:1grcijd5]y[sup:1grcijd5]4[/sup:1grcijd5]) over (-5x[sup:1grcijd5]2[/sup:1grcijd5]y[sup:1grcijd5]-2[/sup:1grcijd5]) all raised by the 2nd power
 
Right now, I have:

50x[sup:y0csyjmw]4[/sup:y0csyjmw]y[sup:y0csyjmw]8[/sup:y0csyjmw] over -10x[sup:y0csyjmw]12[/sup:y0csyjmw]y[sup:y0csyjmw]-4[/sup:y0csyjmw]


I'm wondering whether I should have done -5 * -5 to get 25 on bottom instead of the -10...

please help :/
 
(25x[sup:3w52ywki]2[/sup:3w52ywki]y[sup:3w52ywki]4[/sup:3w52ywki]) over (-5x[sup:3w52ywki]2[/sup:3w52ywki]y[sup:3w52ywki]-2[/sup:3w52ywki])

\(\displaystyle \frac{25x^2y^4}{-5x^2y^{-2}}=\left(\frac{25}{-5}\right)\left(\frac{x^2}{x^2}\right)\left(\frac{y^4}{y^{-2}}\right)\)

Now, work on that.
