Simplify the expression. Write your answer as a power.

Question

1. (-8)^8/(-8)^4

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((-8)^8 / (-8)^4\), you can use the property of exponents that states:

\[ \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \]

In this case, we have:

\[ (-8)^8 / (-8)^4 = (-8)^{8-4} = (-8)^4 \]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[ (-8)^4 \]
