Question

Write the product as a single power

Answer 1

Hello there!

When multiplying powers you add them.

`-15 ^((16 + 9))` =
`-15^(25)`

In short, the answer is
`-15^(25)`.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Answer 2

`(n)^(a) * (n)^(b) = n^((a + b)) \\ So: \\ (-5)^(16) * (-5)^(9) = (-5)^((16 + 9)) \\ = (-5)^(25)`
