Which of the following is a step in simplifying the expression x multiplied by y to the power of 4 over x to the power of negative 5 multiplied by y to the power of 5, the whole to the power of negative 3.? x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y, the whole over x to the power of negative 8 multiplied by y to the power of 2. x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y to the power of negative 12, the whole over x to the power of negative 5 multiplied by y to the power of 5. x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y, the whole over x to the power of negative 5 multiplied by y to the power of 5. x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y to the power of negative 12, the whole over x to the power of 15 multiplied by y to the power of negative 15.

x to the power of negative 3 multiplied by y to the power of negative 12, the whole over x to the power of 15 multiplied by y to the power of negative 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is expression below to be simplified:

The step in simplifying is the power of the power, which is equal to product of powers: (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ. So, power of  -3 of the whole equals to:

This expression is same as the last option:

So, this is the correct one.
