Answer:

To represent the expression (a²-a³-(a-¹))² as a power of a, we can simplify the expression step by step:

1. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: (a² - a³ - (a-¹))

a² - a³ - (a-¹) = a² - a³ - a^-1

2. Combine like terms: a² - a³ - a^-1

= a² - a³ - 1/a

3. Square the simplified expression:

(a² - a³ - 1/a)²

To represent this expression as a power of a, we need to simplify it further.
