Simplify the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify using the order of operations, or PEMDAS. Whenever an exponent is outside of a set of parentheses, distribute it by multiplying that exponent with each of the exponents of the terms within the parentheses. Thus, becomes and becomes .

2) Notice that there is a negative exponent, which means we can still simplify further. Whenever there is term with a negative exponent, write the term as its reciprocal (picture it as a fraction, but switch the denominator for the numerator and vice versa) and get rid of the negative sign on the exponent. Then, multiply.
