Answer

$\dfrac{7x^{9}y^{5}}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Using the laws of exponents, the given expression, $ \dfrac{7x^{-1}y}{14(x^5y^2)^{-2}} $, simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{7x^{-1}y}{14(x^{5(-2)}y^{2(-2)})} \\\\= \dfrac{7x^{-1}y}{14x^{-10}y^{-4}} \\\\= \dfrac{7x^{-1-(-10)}y^{1-(-4)}}{2} \\\\= \dfrac{7x^{-1+10}y^{1+4}}{2} \\\\= \dfrac{7x^{9}y^{5}}{2} .\end{array}
