Standard Operating Procedure for Formula Simplification

As a technical writer for an engineering firm, you are tasked with updating the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual. The manual includes the mathematical simplification: (3x2y3)3=27x6y9{}\left(\frac{3x^{-2}}{y^3}\right)^3 = \frac{27}{x^6y^9}. To ensure new technicians understand the math behind this process, write a brief explanation detailing the steps taken to simplify this expression. In your explanation, specifically recall and name at least three exponent properties or definitions (such as the Quotient to a Power Property, Product to a Power Property, Power Property, or the definition of a negative exponent) and describe how they are applied.
