Hello there. To solve this question, we'll need some properties from powers:

First, something to the 0-th power is equal to 1:


a^0=1

Second, multiplying powers of the same base is equal to keeping the base and adding the powers:


a^b\cdot a^c\cdot a^d\ldots=a^(b+c+d+\cdots)

Third, dividing powers of the same base is equal to keeping the base and subtracting the powers:


(a^b)/(a^c)=a^(b-c)

For the first question.

(-3^(-2))^0, applying the first rule, it will be equal to 1.

For the second question, keeping the base and adding the powers, we have:


3^3\cdot3^1\cdot3^2\cdot3^(-12)=3^(3+1+2-12)=3^(-6)=(1)/(729)

For the third question, keeping the base and subtracting the powers, we have:


(-3^5)/(-3^8)^{}=^{}3^(5-8)=3^(-3)=(1)/(27)

Finally, for the fourth question, keeping the base and adding the powers, we have:


-3^(-3)\cdot3^(-3)=-3^(-3-3)=-3^(-6)=-(1)/(729)
