Question 181903
(-2^-5 b^0)^3 (a^4 b^2)^5 
:
any value to the power of 0 = 1, so we can write it:
(-2^-5)^3 (a^4 b^2)^5
:
When you raise one power to another power, you multiply the powers
(-2^-15) (a^20 b^10)
:
the reciprocal get rid of the negative exponent
{{{1/(-2^15)}}}*(a^20 b^10)  =  {{{(a^20*b^10)/(-2^15)}}}
:
exponent is an odd number so the result is negative also
{{{(a^20*b^10)/(-32768)}}}
:
Which is:
{{{-(a^20*b^10)/32768}}}
