Simplify (m^3n^-5m^-1)^-3

${(m^{3} n^{- 5} m^{- 1})}^{- 3}$

Multiply $m^{3}$ by $m^{- 1}$ by adding the exponents.

Move $m^{- 1}$ .

${(m^{- 1} m^{3} n^{- 5})}^{- 3}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

${(m^{- 1 + 3} n^{- 5})}^{- 3}$

Add $- 1$ and $3$ .

${(m^{2} n^{- 5})}^{- 3}$

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

${(m^{2} \frac{1}{n^{5}})}^{- 3}$

Combine $m^{2}$ and $\frac{1}{n^{5}}$ .

${(\frac{m^{2}}{n^{5}})}^{- 3}$

Change the sign of the exponent by rewriting the base as its reciprocal.

${(\frac{n^{5}}{m^{2}})}^{3}$

Apply the product rule to $\frac{n^{5}}{m^{2}}$ .

$\frac{{(n^{5})}^{3}}{{(m^{2})}^{3}}$

Multiply the exponents in ${(n^{5})}^{3}$ .
