algebra precalculus - Negative/Positive Index Numbers



I came across a question that I was unable to solve, it involves positive and negative index numbers in the same fraction and I'm not sure how to solve that, if anyone could help me please??



(7a5b35a6b2)(7b3a25b5a4)



Also some working out would be great so I can see how to work it out properly. Thanks!



Answer



(7a5b35a6b2)(7b3a25b5a4)=7a5b35a6b2×5b5a47b3a2=a5b3b5a4a6b2b3a2=a9b8a8b5=ab3.



The division of a fraction is equivalent to the multiplication of its reciprocal, which is obtained by swapping the numerator and denominator.
