I can simplify expressions with negative exponents using the rules of exponents.

1
When dividing exponents with the same base, you subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.
2
a⁻ᵇ is equal to 1/aᵇ.
3
When raising a quotient to a power, apply the power to both the numerator and the denominator.
