So for the first one, when it comes to multiplying exponents, you are allowed the exponents. When they are being raised to another exponent, they are multiplied, so: \[\large 3^2*(3^3)^2*3^{-8}=3^2*3^6*8^{-8}\] Simplify it as such: \[\Large 3^{2+6+(-8)}= 3^0\]

When it comes to dealing with division of exponents, you're gonna need to subtract exponential powers if one is in the denominator while the other is in the numerator: \[\large \frac{3^2*(2*3)^{-3}}{2^{-3}}\] With this, you're gonna need to flip the negative exponent on the top and bring to the denominator: \[\Large \frac{3^2}{2^{-3}*(2*3)^{3}}\] Distribute the exponent: \[\Large \frac{3^2}{2^{-3}*2^3*3^3}\] Simplify: \[\Large \frac{3^2}{1*3^3}= 3^{2-3}=3^{-1}=\frac{1}{3}\]

Ignore that 8^-8, it's suppose to be a 3^-8
