Question

evaluate 1/2a^-4b^-2 where a = -2 and b =4

Answer 1

(-2)^-4 = 1 / 2^4 = 1/16
(4)^-2 = 1 / 4^2 = 1/16
so denominator = 2(1/16*1/16 ) = 1/128
1/1/128 = 128

Answer 2

Lol answer choices

2
1/2
3
4

Answer 3

problem arises because your expression can be interpreted in various ways
i assumed itwas

1 / (2a^-4b^-2)
have you got the original question?

Answer 4

yes i do evaluate \[1/2a ^{-4}b ^{2}\] where a = -2 and b = 4

Answer 5

if the 1/2 only refers to the a^-4
then we get
1/2 * 1/16 * 16 = 1/2

Answer 6

Thats what i thought thanks alot :)

Answer 7

yw

Answer 8

Do you think you can look at my past questions and try the one right below it ? im pretty sure the answer is \[mq ^{2}/n ^{4}\]
