A^-b is the same as 1/a^b.
When there is a negative power, place the number and power over 1.
a^b/a^c = a^(b-c).
c is a negative power, because it is being divided, and is underneath b, which is a positive (and so it stays in the numerator).
a^c/b^c = (a/b)^c
Inside this one, the power of c is distributed to all numbers inside the parenthesis, in this case a and b.

Answer:
4a^4·b^5
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rule of exponents is ...
(x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)
The commutative and associative properties of multiplication apply, so we can write the expression as ...
4·(a^3·a)·(b^2·b^3) = 4·a^(3+1)·b^(2+3) = 4·a^4·b^5
