yes ma'am
ADDED:
The above is wrong.
2^-2 means 1/2^2
or
1/4
-2^2
can equal - 4
To simplify the expression ((4^5 \times 4^{-3})^{-2}), first combine the exponents: (4^{5 - 3} = 4^2). Then, raising it to the power of (-2) gives (4^{2 \times -2} = 4^{-4}), which is equal to (\frac{1}{4^4} = \frac{1}{256}). Therefore, the expression is equal to (\frac{1}{256}), confirming that it is equal to 1 over 256.

Yes. (1/2)-2 = (2-1)-2 = 2(-1)*(-2) = 22 = 4
negative 2
the answer is -4
Yes
16 -2-4 = 0.0625
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.

Yes. (1/2)-2 = (2-1)-2 = 2(-1)*(-2) = 22 = 4

4^(-3) = 1/4^3 or 1/64
It can equal just about anything except 0. For example: (-2)-2 = 1/4 (-2)-3 = -1/8 (-0.5)-2 = 4 (-0.5)-3 = -8 :
