a) $$(-0,2xy^5)^2 = (-0,2)^2 \cdot x^2 \cdot (y^5)^2 = 0,04x^2y^{5 \cdot 2} = 0,04x^2y^{10}$$
б) $$8x^6y \cdot (-x^2y^4)^4 = 8x^6y \cdot (-1)^4 \cdot (x^2)^4 \cdot (y^4)^4 = 8x^6y \cdot 1 \cdot x^{2 \cdot 4} \cdot y^{4 \cdot 4} = 8x^6y \cdot x^8y^{16} = 8x^{6+8}y^{1+16} = 8x^{14}y^{17}$$
Ответ: a) $$0,04x^2y^{10}$$, б) $$8x^{14}y^{17}$$
