Respuesta :
4^-8 = 1/(4^8)
(4^6) x (1/4^8) = (4^6)/(4^8)
Simplify. Note that when dividing with powers, subtract the powers (if the base is the same number)
(4^6)/(4^8) = 4^(6 - 8)
4^(6 - 8) = 4^(-2)
4^(-2) = 1/(4^2)
1/(4²) = 1/16
1/16 is your answer

Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{4^{-2}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have the expression [tex]4^6 \cdot 4^{-8}[/tex], our goal is to simplify it.
Using exponent rules, we know that [tex]a^b \cdot a^c = a^{b+c}[/tex].
Therefore, we can add our exponents (since we have the same base, 4) to get our simplified expression.
[tex]6 + -8[/tex]
Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.
[tex]6 - 8 = -2[/tex]
Now we raise 4 to that power.
[tex]4^{-2}[/tex]
Hope this helped!
