Question 590958: Simplify:
(8^4) ^-9
I know that 8 to the fourth power is 4096, but I do not know what to do about the exponents and especially because the outside one(9) is negative.
would I simply multiply the exponents--36? But what sign would they be and would the answer be a fraction:
1/4096 ???
and what do I do with the exponent in my answer?
Is this right or am I way off and CONFUSED? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):

That's right, just multiply the exponents.

Also =
8^36 is a big number.
(1/8)^36 is a small number, =~ 3.0815E-33
