There is 23 questions overall but I will submit in the rest once I try to finish and see if anyone is able to help me here.
3 answers
#2
#2 , no, anything ^0 = 1
#3, no, -1/a^-2 = -1(a^2) or -a^2
#4 yes
#5 ,no , same kind as #4, why did you go off very strange here?
(3)^10 (3)^-9 = 3^1 or 3
#6 yes
#7 no, (6q^6)^-4 = (6^-4)(q^6)^-4
= (1/1296)(q^-24)
=1/(1296q^24) which is C
#8 11x^-3 y^-1 = 11(1/x^3)(1/y) = 11(1/(-1)^3 )(1/2) = 11(-1)(1/2) = -11/2
#9 no , (t^-4)^-9 t^2 = t^36 t^2= t^38
#10 ??? , very easy (4/7y^5) ^2 = (16/49)y^10
#11 yes,
4/11 is not close to competency. Looks like somebody has to spent
some more time on this.

Wrong answers:
2. ( - 8.3 )⁰ = 1
Any number to zero power is equal one.
3.
a⁻² = 1 / a²
so
- 1 / a⁻² = - 1 / ( 1 / a² ) = - 1 ∙ a² = - a²
5.
aᵐ ∙ aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ
3¹⁰ ∙ 3⁻⁹ = 3¹⁰⁻⁹ = 3¹ = 3
7.
( aᵐ )ⁿ = aᵐ ⁿ
( 6 q⁶ )⁻⁴ = 6⁻⁴ ∙ ( q⁶ )⁻⁴ = 1 / 6⁴ ∙ q²⁴ = 1 / 6⁴ ∙ q²⁻⁴ = 1 / 1296 ∙ 1 / q²⁴ = 1 / 1296 q²⁴
8.
11 x⁻³ ∙ y⁻¹ = 11 ∙ 1 / x³ ∙ 1 / y¹ = 11 / x³ ∙ y
Put x = - 1 and y = 2 in this expression
11 / (- 1)³ ∙ 2 = 11 / (- 1) ∙ 2 = 11 / - 2 = - 11 / 2
9.
( t⁻⁴ )⁻⁹ ∙ t² = ( t )⁻⁴ * ⁻⁹ ∙ t² = t³⁶ ∙ t² = t³⁶⁺² = t³⁸
10.
( 4 / 7 y⁵ )² = ( 4 / 7 )² ∙ ( y⁵ )² = 4² / 7² ∙ y⁵*² = 16 / 49 ∙ y¹⁰
