Question

2x to the 2 power in parenthesis to the -4th power

Answer 1

(2x^2)^-4 , right?

Answer 2

2x^-8

Answer 3

Since you're raising a power to a power, you multiple the exponents to get what I posted which was \[2x ^{-8}\]

Answer 4

the answer would be (1/16x^8), because when theres a negative exponent, you use the recipricol to make it positive.

Answer 5

if you have your answer as a negative exponent, it's not simplified all the way.
