Yes
2-2 = 1/4
its 16, because the value of the power is even so the negative has no effect.
For anything to the power of a negative, put the number as the denominator in 1/? and then solve (ex: 2 to the power of neg. 2 = 1/2 to the power of 2 = 1/4)
Two thirds to the negative 2 power can be simplified by first taking the reciprocal of two thirds, which is three halves. Then, raising three halves to the negative 2 power means taking the reciprocal of three halves squared, which is four ninths. Therefore, two thirds to the negative 2 power simplifies to four ninths.

Answer #1:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie -((1/2)-4) equals -16Answer #2:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie (-1/2)-4 equals +16
2-4 = 16

16 -2-4 = 0.0625
2-2 = 4

Yes
2-2 = 1/4
-2 x -2 = 4
4-2 = 1/16
