For the first problem - first go through and answer questions Jeff has posed.

Then I would find:

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{-3}{6} \ = \ ??\)

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{x^{-2}}{x^{-5}} \ = \ ??\)

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{y^{-3}}{y^{2}} \ = \ ??\)

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{z^{4}}{z^{-2}} \ = \ ??\)

Now multiply all those together ans square it....
 
I tried number one and I got

((-3x^-2 y^-3 z^4)/ (6x^-5 y^2 z^-2 ))^-2

Then you distribute the ^-2

(6x^6y^2z^-4)/(-3)

Then simplfy

-2x^6 y^2 z^-4
