Question

Select the equivalent expression . ( 8^ -5 2^ -2 )^ -4 =?

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is division inside a set of parentheses, you can distribute the power to each term. When you take a power to another power, you multiply the powers.

-5 x -4 = 20

-2 x -4 = 8

So your answer is:

$\frac{8^2^0}{2^8}$
