To multiply terms with the same base, multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. To divide terms with the same base, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents. For example, 3x2 x 2x2 = 6x4 and \({8x^5 \over 4x^2} \) = 2x(5-2) = 2x3.
What is \( \frac{-3x^6}{8x^4} \)?

| -\(\frac{3}{8}\)x2 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{8}\)x\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
