Final answer:

To evaluate the expression with (m)^n 2 - m for m = -4 and n = -5, substitute the values, calculate (-4)^-5, square the result, and subtract m from the squared result. However, the given expression is unclear and might require clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original question seems to be formatted incorrectly. However, interpreting it as requesting to evaluate ((m)^n 2 - m) with given values for m and n, the correct approach would be to substitute m = -4 and n = -5 into the equation and solve it step by step.

  • First, substitute the values: ((-4)^-5)^2 - (-4).
  • Next, calculate the first part of the expression: since the base is negative and the exponent is an odd negative integer, the result will be negative. (-4)^-5 = -1/45 = -1/1024.
  • Now, square the result: (-1/1024)^2 = 1/1048576.
  • Lastly, subtract m from the result: 1/1048576 - (-4) = 1/1048576 + 4 = 1048577/1048576.

However, if any additional or alternative operations or bracket placements were intended in the question, the student is advised to clarify the expression for an accurate evaluation.
