Answer 1

(-1/2)^8 since if the bases are equal then the powers should be added.

a^m.a^n=a^m+n

Answer 2

$= ( { - 1 \div 2})^{5} \times ( { - 1 \div 2}^{3} ) \\ = ( { - 1 \div 2})^{5 + 3} \\ = ( { - 1 \div 2})^{8} \\ = ( {2 \div 1})^{8} \\ = ({2})^{8} \\ = 256$

This is the required answer. Please mark it as brainliest.
