Okay, so i can apply the rules of exponents to solve this problem.
00:05
The first rule that i see is i have negative exponents outside of each of my terms, my numerator and my denominator.
00:12
Now what happens when i have a negative exponent? we'll recall when i have a negative exponent in the numerator, what i could do to make this exponent positive is i can move it to the denominator.
00:22
Or if i had a negative exponent in the denominator to make a positive, i can move it to the numerator.
00:29
So since i have a negative exponent in the top and the bottom, what i'm going to do is first i'm going to flip these two terms to make the exponent positive.
00:39
So in the denominator would be 5, p to the fourth, q, all of that to the positive third power, and then p to the third, q to the fifth, all of that to the positive fourth power too.
00:51
Okay, so what can we do from here? well, from here, i have an exponent raised to the entire numerator, so i could distribute this four to each term, p to the third to the fourth times q to the fifth to the fourth, all over.
01:10
In the bottom, i could do the same thing with the three, five to the third times p to the fourth to the third, times q to the third.
01:19
From here what i could do, when i'm raising an exponent to another exponent, what do i do with the exponents.
01:25
Do i add subtract to multiply divide? well, i'll actually multiply these exponents...
