Question

I have been trying for a long time and I’m still stuck on it

Answer 1

`8^(32)` They are looking for the exponent k = 32

Explanation:

`(8^(8)) ^{^(4) }` this means that we have

`8^(8)` four times

`8^(8)` x
`8^(8)` x
`8^(8)` x
`8^(8)` Each one of these is 8 8's

(8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8)x(8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8)x(8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8)x(8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8)

How many 8s is that? 32.

The power or powers principal tells us that we can just multiply the exponents. (8 x 4) = 32

Answer 2

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get but if you wanted it simplified the answer is 8^32 and if you needed to rewrite the expression the answer is 2^96
