hello!

Remember the Property of Exponents:-


\sf{a^{-b)=\displaystyle(1)/(a^b)

Use it:-


\sf{8x^(-2)

According to the property, we should flop the number over:-


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{(1)/(8x^2) }}}

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
