Question
there are some algebraic expressions: ( \frac{x^{2}y^{3}}{z} ), ( \frac{b^{2}c^{3}}{a} ), ( x^{2}y^{3}z^{-4} ), ( \frac{x^{2}y^{3}}{z^{4}} ), ( x^{2}y^{3}z^{-4} ) (arranged in colored blocks).
Step1: Recall negative exponent rule
A term $z^{-n} = \frac{1}{z^n}$
Step2: Rewrite the given expression
$$x^2y^3z^{-4} = x^2y^3 \cdot \frac{1}{z^4} = \frac{x^2y^3}{z^4}$$
Step3: Match to equivalent expression
Compare with the options: $\frac{x^2y^3}{z^4}$ matches the orange box expression, and $x^2y^3z^{-4}$ matches the bottom blue box expression.
