See a solution process below:

Explanation:

We can use this rule of exponents to simplify the expression"

#(x^color(red)(a))^color(blue)(b) = x^(color(red)(a) xx color(blue)(b))#

#(-a^color(red)(m)/b^color(red)(t))^color(blue)(2t) => (-a)^(color(red)(m) xx color(blue)(2t))/(b)^(color(red)(t) xx color(blue)(2t)) => (-a)^(2mt)/(b)^(2t^2)#
