a) \( 7^a - a^3 \) при \( a=8 \): \( 7^8 - 8^3 = 5764801 - 512 = 5764289 \), b) \( \frac{(y - 7)^2}{y^6 - y - 8} \) при \( y=3 \): \( \frac{(3 - 7)^2}{3^6 - 3 - 8} = \frac{16}{729 - 11} = \frac{16}{718} \approx 0.0223 \), c) \( \frac{(x^3)^{-2} \cdot (x^2)^{-4}}{(x^5)^{-3}} \) при \( x = 4 \): \( \frac{4^{-6} \cdot 4^{-8}}{4^{-15}} = 4^{15 - 6 - 8} = 4^1 = 4 \).
