Answer

$\frac{b^4}{c^6}$

Work Step by Step

We start with the given expression: $bc^{-6}b^3$. We re-arrange the terms using the commutative property of multiplication: $bb^3c^{-6}$ To multiply powers with the same base, we add the exponents: $b^4c^{-6}$ The negative exponent rule states that for every nonzero number $a$ and integer $n$, $a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$. We use this rule to rewrite the expression: $\frac{b^4}{c^6}$
