1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression
$$\left[\frac{(2.1a^2bc)^2 \left(-\frac{35}{4} a^4 b^{-1} c^{-2}\right)^{-1}}{\left(-2\frac{1}{2} a^5 b^0 c^{-7}\right)^{-2} \left(-3\frac{3}{4} ab^3 c^{-2}\right)^2}\right]^{-\frac{3}{4}}$$
and leave no negative exponents.
2. **Rewrite mixed numbers as improper fractions:**
$$-2\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{5}{2}, \quad -3\frac{3}{4} = -\frac{15}{4}$$
3. **Simplify each part inside the brackets:**
- Numerator part 1:
$$(2.1a^2bc)^2 = 2.1^2 a^{2\times 2} b^{1\times 2} c^{1\times 2} = 4.41 a^4 b^2 c^2$$
- Numerator part 2:
$$\left(-\frac{35}{4} a^4 b^{-1} c^{-2}\right)^{-1} = -\frac{4}{35} a^{-4} b^{1} c^{2}$$
- Denominator part 1:
$$\left(-\frac{5}{2} a^5 b^0 c^{-7}\right)^{-2} = \left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)^{-2} a^{-10} b^{0} c^{14} = \frac{4}{25} a^{-10} c^{14}$$
- Denominator part 2:
$$\left(-\frac{15}{4} ab^3 c^{-2}\right)^2 = \left(-\frac{15}{4}\right)^2 a^{2} b^{6} c^{-4} = \frac{225}{16} a^{2} b^{6} c^{-4}$$
4. **Combine numerator:**
$$4.41 a^4 b^2 c^2 \times -\frac{4}{35} a^{-4} b^{1} c^{2} = 4.41 \times -\frac{4}{35} a^{4-4} b^{2+1} c^{2+2} = -\frac{17.64}{35} b^{3} c^{4}$$
5. **Combine denominator:**
$$\frac{4}{25} a^{-10} c^{14} \times \frac{225}{16} a^{2} b^{6} c^{-4} = \frac{4}{25} \times \frac{225}{16} a^{-10+2} b^{6} c^{14-4} = \frac{900}{400} a^{-8} b^{6} c^{10} = \frac{9}{4} a^{-8} b^{6} c^{10}$$
6. **Form the fraction inside the brackets:**
$$\frac{-\frac{17.64}{35} b^{3} c^{4}}{\frac{9}{4} a^{-8} b^{6} c^{10}} = -\frac{17.64}{35} \times \frac{4}{9} a^{8} b^{3-6} c^{4-10} = -\frac{17.64 \times 4}{35 \times 9} a^{8} b^{-3} c^{-6}$$
7. **Simplify the coefficient:**
$$\frac{17.64 \times 4}{35 \times 9} = \frac{70.56}{315} = \frac{70.56 \div 7.056}{315 \div 7.056} = \frac{10}{44.64} \approx 0.2237$$
But better to keep fraction exact:
$$17.64 = \frac{441}{25} \Rightarrow \frac{441}{25} \times 4 = \frac{1764}{25}$$
Denominator:
$$35 \times 9 = 315$$
So coefficient:
$$\frac{1764}{25} \div 315 = \frac{1764}{25} \times \frac{1}{315} = \frac{1764}{7875}$$
Simplify numerator and denominator by 3:
$$\frac{1764 \div 3}{7875 \div 3} = \frac{588}{2625}$$
Divide numerator and denominator by 21:
$$\frac{588 \div 21}{2625 \div 21} = \frac{28}{125}$$
So coefficient is $-\frac{28}{125}$.
8. **Rewrite the fraction inside the brackets:**
$$-\frac{28}{125} a^{8} b^{-3} c^{-6}$$
9. **Apply the outer exponent $-\frac{3}{4}$:**
$$\left(-\frac{28}{125} a^{8} b^{-3} c^{-6}\right)^{-\frac{3}{4}} = \left(-\frac{28}{125}\right)^{-\frac{3}{4}} a^{8 \times -\frac{3}{4}} b^{-3 \times -\frac{3}{4}} c^{-6 \times -\frac{3}{4}}$$
$$= \left(-\frac{28}{125}\right)^{-\frac{3}{4}} a^{-6} b^{\frac{9}{4}} c^{\frac{9}{2}}$$
10. **Simplify the coefficient:**
$$\left(-\frac{28}{125}\right)^{-\frac{3}{4}} = \left(-1\right)^{-\frac{3}{4}} \times \left(\frac{28}{125}\right)^{-\frac{3}{4}} = -1 \times \left(\frac{125}{28}\right)^{\frac{3}{4}}$$
11. **Final simplified expression:**
$$- \left(\frac{125}{28}\right)^{\frac{3}{4}} a^{-6} b^{\frac{9}{4}} c^{\frac{9}{2}} = - \left(\frac{125}{28}\right)^{\frac{3}{4}} \frac{b^{\frac{9}{4}} c^{\frac{9}{2}}}{a^{6}}$$
12. **Rewrite to remove negative exponents:**
$$= - \left(\frac{125}{28}\right)^{\frac{3}{4}} \frac{b^{\frac{9}{4}} c^{\frac{9}{2}}}{a^{6}}$$
This is the fully simplified expression with no negative exponents.
