Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

8^8 is right answer I hope you understand

Answer 2

Answer:

(-8)⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

${( - 8^{ - 2} )}^{ -6} \times {( - 8)}^{ - 4} \\ = { ( - 8)}^{ - 2 \times - 6} \times {( - 8)}^{ - 4} \\ = {( - 8)}^{ 12} \times {( - 8)}^{ - 4} \\ = {( - 8)}^{12 + ( -4)} \\ = {( - 8)}^{12 - 4} \\ = {( - 8)}^{8}$

Hence the answer is (-8)⁸

.

Some rules about exponents you should remember, when bases (here x) are same -

$( {x}^{m} )^{n} = {x}^{m \times n} \\ {x}^{m} \times {x}^{n} = {x}^{m + n} \\ {x}^{m} \div {x}^{n} = {x}^{m - n}$

hope it helps.
