Answer 1

Answer:

$-a^{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have $(-a^{3} ) ^{4} *-a^{6}$

First what we must do is do the rule of out exponent by in exponent. A.K.A in parenthesis and out parenthesis.

So $(-a^3) ^4$

3 * 4 = 12

$a^{12}$

Now do the additive property :

$-a^{12} * a^6$

12 + 6 = 18

$-a^{18}$
