What are the values of a and b in the equation (4x^a) ^b = 256/x^8

1. a= 2, b= 4
2. a= -2, b= 4
3. a= -2, b= -4
4. a= 2, b= -4

the answer is number 2

Step-by-step explanation:

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative
