4 to the 2nd power is basically 4 squared, which is 4 x 4. 4 x 4 is 16. Let me explain. 4 to the 2nd power is an exponent. Exponents can be like 5 to the 34th power or 6 to the 14th power. Take the main number, in your case four, and multiply it by itself the number of powers. 4 squared is multiplying 4 two times. Multiplying it once would leave you at 4. Then, twice would be 4 x 4. See, there are two numbers you multiply by. In 9 to the 4th power, it would be 9 x 9 x 9 x 9. Get it?
Raising a number to a negative power is the same as the reciprocal of the corresponding positive power. That is, the first step in evaluating (-4)-2 is to convert it into 1 / (-4)2.

1/16
They are equal 2^4 and 4^2 both equal 16.
(x + 4)(x + 1) x = -1 or -4
The GCF is x2
If your multiplying two numbers with the same base you add the exponents. EX. 4^2 * 4^3 This means 4 to the 2nd power times 4 to the 3rd power. You just add the 2 and 3. Now it becomes: 4^5 Hope this helped!
