Question

1. [(-x)^3]^4               2.(-1/2)^8.2^3              

Answer 1

\(\left[\left(-x\right)^3\right]^4=\left(-x\right)^{12}\)

\(\left(\dfrac{-1}{2}\right)^8\times2^3=\dfrac{1}{256}\times8=\dfrac{1}{32}\)

Answer 2

1) \(\left[\left(-x\right)^3\right]^4=\left(-x\right)^{12}=x^{12}\)

2) \(\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^8\cdot2^3=\dfrac{1}{256}\cdot8=\dfrac{1}{32}\)
