If \(a \neq 0\) and \(b \neq 0\), what is the simplified form of \(\left(\dfrac{a^2}{b^{-3}}\right)^{-2}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(,\dfrac{1}{a^4b^6},\)
Inside, \(\dfrac{a^2}{b^{-3}}=a^2b^3\), and applying the power (-2) gives \(\dfrac{1}{a^4b^6}\). In exams, simplify the inside part first.
