Answer:


8^(-5)

Explanation:

Anything raised to the power of 0 is 1. This means that we need to multiply 8^5 by something to make it into 8^0. When you multiply together two numbers with the same base, you can add the exponents together. For instance, in this case:


8^(-5)\cdot 8^5= \\\\8^(-5+5)= \\\\8^0=1

Hope this helps!
