Question

What is the answer to this

Answer 1

`\displaystyle (1)/(36)`

Explanation:

According to the Product-to-Power Exponential Rule, whenever you multiply similar bases, you keep the base and add the exponents:

`\displaystyle [-6]^(-2) = [-6]^(-10) * [-6]^8 → (1)/(36) = [-6]^(-2)`

Answer 2

(-6)^-10 · (-6)^8 = (-6)^(-10+8)= (-6)^-2
