To simplify the expression \((32x^{5}y^{-35})^{-\frac{3}{5}}\), we will apply the rules of exponents step by step.First, let's rewrite the expression inside the parentheses with positive exponents:
We can rewrite
as
:
Now, we need to apply the exponent
to this fraction:
When raising a fraction to a power, we raise both the numerator and the denominator to that power:
Next, apply the exponent
to both the numerator and the denominator separately.For the numerator:
For
, recall that
:
For \((x^5)^{-\frac{3}{5}}\):
So, the numerator becomes:
For the denominator:
So, the denominator becomes:
Now, combine the simplified numerator and denominator:
Thus, the simplified form of the expression is:
