The negative means " 1 over it" so that's 1/4, and the 2 means "square it" so that's 1/16
The answer is 1/16.
Since it is 2^-4, it's actually 1/2^4. This means it's 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2.
16
4
It can be a negative or a positive number depending on the absolute value of the power.e.g.(-4) to the power of -2 gives (1/16) and(-4) to the power of -1 gives (-1/4)
(4/5)-2 = (5/4)2 = 25/16
16/93/4 to the power 2 is 9/16. The negative sign makes it 16/9
No Actually... x^(-y) is equal to 1/x^y. 2^(-2) is equal to 1/2^2 which is equal to 1/4 or 0.25.
2-4 = 0.0625

Yes
2-2 = 1/4
It can be a negative or a positive number depending on the absolute value of the power.e.g.(-4) to the power of -2 gives (1/16) and(-4) to the power of -1 gives (-1/4)
its 16, because the value of the power is even so the negative has no effect.
(-2)2 = (-2)(-2) = 4 (when we raise a negative number to an even power, the result is always positive) (-2)3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8 (when we raise a negative number to an odd power, the result is always negative) (-3)4 = 81 (-3)5 = -243
9/4
A negative power is equivalent to a reciprocal.So, 4-2= 1/42= 1/16
16/93/4 to the power 2 is 9/16. The negative sign makes it 16/9
(4/5)-2 = (5/4)2 = 25/16
