To simplify the expression, we can follow these steps:
1. Start by simplifying the numerator. The numerator is 5 multiplied by 'y' with an exponent of -5, which means we can rewrite it as 5/y^5.
2. Next, simplify the denominator. The denominator is -u^5 multiplied by 'v' with an exponent of -4, which can be rewritten as -u^5/v^4.
3. Now, divide the numerator by the denominator. When dividing with exponents, you subtract the exponents. So, 5/y^5 divided by -u^5/v^4 would be (5/y^5) / (-u^5/v^4).
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. Hence, (5/y^5) / (-u^5/v^4) becomes (5/y^5) * (v^4/-u^5).
4. Finally, simplify the expression further. The expression (5/y^5) * (v^4/-u^5) can be written as (5v^4)/(-u^5y^5).
Therefore, the simplified expression with only positive exponents is:
(5v^4)/(-u^5y^5)
