Use the power of power rule to rewrite each expression as a single exponent

Question

1. ((-4)^-5)^-4
2.(8^3)^16
3. ((-2.3)^7/^2
4.((- 1/3)^-2/^-5
5.(5^12)^-3
6. ((5/4)^4)^13

Answer 1

just realize that since
u^n = u*u*u* ...*u (n times) then
(u^m)^n = u^m * u^m * ... * u^m (n times)
that is just u^(m+m+m...+m) (n times) = u^(mn)
so,
((-4)^-5)^-4 = (-4)^(-5 * -4) = (-4)^20 = 4^20

((- 1/3)^-2/^-5 ??? I assume you mean
((- 1/3)^-2)^-5
= (-1/3)^(-2 * -5) = (-1/3)^10 = (-3^-1)^10 = 3^-10 = 1/3^10

note that all even powers are positive, since negative * negative = positive

now you try the rest; post your work if you get stuck.
google can provide many more fine examples, discussions, and videos.

Answer 2

Rewrite the expression using exponet (2 to the power of 18) to the power of 8
