Question

laws of exponents

Answer 1

(-mn^8)^2

Answer 2

Do you see how this works?
(-mn^8)^2
m^2n^16

It is the same as (-m) * (-m) and (n^8) * (n^8) when exponents are multiplied they are added.

Answer 3

how did yo ugetthe 2?

Answer 4

What are you referring to?

Answer 5

m^2n^16

Answer 6

m to the second power is generated from (-m) * (-m)

If it is not clear when using variables then replace it with numbers...

For example 2^2 = 4 and (2^2 * 2^2) = 16 or 2^4
