This math topic focuses on the multiplication of exponents. Specifically, it covers the scenario of multiplying expanded positive terms by expanded negative terms, resulting in negative fractions. The problems involve identifying the product of various combinations of base terms raised to positive and negative powers, simplifying the expressions to their smallest form. Each problem presents different variable bases like r, y, b, n, and z, each raised to multiple powers, challenging the student to apply the rules for multiplying exponents, such as adding the exponents when the bases are multiplied.
