Write Using Positive Exponents x^2y^-4*x^3y^2

$x^{2} y^{- 4} \cdot x^{3} y^{2}$

Step 1

Move $y^{- 4}$ to the denominator in $y^{- 4}$ using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{y^{4}}$

Step 2

Rewrite $x^{2} y^{- 4} \cdot (x^{3} y^{2})$ with positive exponents.

$x^{2} \frac{1}{y^{4}} \cdot x^{3} y^{2}$
