Question

Simplify (8^4)^-16

Answer 1

0

Answer 2

0? That's not it.

Answer 3

ok first thing we do when we see a negative exponent is flip me
We gotta bring down the term
\( \large{1 \over (8^{4})^{16}} \)
ok so according to the laws of exponents \( \large (a^m)^n=a^{m*n} \)
\( \large{1 \over (8^{4*16}} = {1 \over 8^{64}}\)

Answer 4

Is this one of the options?

Answer 5

8^-64 is a option.

Answer 6

ok that is teh answer

Answer 7

notice that if you use the rule
\[ (x^a)^b = x^{ab} \]
you immediately get \( 8^{-64} \)
