|dw:1323571165653:dw| we have to get rid of the negative exponent by flipping the base, so just flip 4 and you get 1/4. Now that we have the exponent turned into a positive, we can raise this to the 2nd power. 1 to the second power is just one. 4 to the second power is 16 you get 1/4 ^2

i mean you get 1/16
