Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative exponent in the numerator is the same as a positive exponent in the denominator, and vice versa.
... a^-b = 1/a^b . . . . . for any value of b, positive or negative
The exponent of a product is the sum of the exponents:
... (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
___
Applying these rules, you have
... = 2/(3x^4·x·y) = 2/(3x^(4+1)·y) = 2/(3x^5·y)
The metric system originated in France in 1799 following the French Revolution although decimal units had been used in many other countries and cultures previously. Although there have been many different measurements and the definitions of the units have been revised, the official system of measurements of most countries is the modern form of the metric system which is known as the "International System of Units".
