2^(-5) = (1)/(2^5) = (1)/(32)


3^(-2) = (1)/(3^2) = (1)/(9)


5^(-4) = (1)/(5^4) = (1)/(25^2) = (1)/(625)


(3^3)^(-2) = 3^(-6) = (1)/(3^6) = (1)/(9^3) = (1)/(729)


(1)/(4^(-4)) = 4^4 = 16^2 = 256


(1)/(2^(-5)) = 2^5 = 32


(5^(-3))^(-2)=5^6 = 15625 \quad

needed the calculator for that one


(4)/(5^(-2)) = 4 \cdot 5^(2) = 4 \cdot 25 =100


3^(6) * 3^(-2) = 3^(6 - 2) = 3^4 = 9^2=81


4^(-8) * 4^5 = 4^(-3) = (1)/(4^3) = (1)/(64)
