Answer:
A: product of powers
B: quotient of powers
E: negative exponent
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's evaluate to see which several rules we would be applying in each step
[tex] \frac{((-8)^4)^{-5}}{(-8)^6} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{((-8)^{4*-5}}{(-8)^6} [/tex] (power of a power)
[tex] \frac{(-8)^{-20}}{(-8)^6} [/tex]
[tex] (-8)^{-20 - 6} [/tex] (quotient of powers)
[tex] (-8)^{-26} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{(-8)^{26}} [/tex] (negative exponent)
Thus, the rules of exponents we have applied to far are:
A: product of powers
B: quotient of powers
E: negative exponent
