you can use the reciprocal in this situation:

(1/4)^-2

to get rid of the "-" in front of the power, you can just use the reciprocal of the number in brackets:

(4/1)^2

which is of course:

4^2

which would equal:

16

You may also use a reciprocal in a situation like this:

1/4 divided by 1/2

you would use the reciprocal of the second number to turn the divide into a multiplication:

1/4 X 2/1

which would equal:

1/2

There r probably a lot of other ways too, but those r possibly the most common

hope this helped
