Question

Anybody know how to answer this equation? I cannot figure out which solution to use to answer it correctly.
(4p)^-2

Answer 1

The negative exponent tells us to take the RECIPROCAL of this term. So we can write it like this,\[\huge (4p)^{-2} \qquad = \qquad \frac{1}{(4p)^2}\]

Answer 2

From here, just make sure to square EACH item inside of the brackets. Understand how to do that? :o

Answer 3

Ok, thank you zepdrix, I thought that was the way to do it, but wasn't sure because it would turn into a fraction.

Answer 4

would the correct answer be 1/16p ^2

Answer 5
