Question

-(4)^-2

Answer 1

= -1/ 4²

Answer 2

So let us break this into steps.

4^2=16
The - in the exponent makes it inverse. This will give us 1/16.
The negative distributes giving us -1/16

Answer 3

-(4)^2 what is the simplified form of each expression?

Answer 4

Same deal... Try to replicate it with my above steps but with the new exponent.
