Question

Which number equals (2)^-4

Answer 1

A number to the power of a negative number is equal to 1 over that number.

In general terms, a^(-1) = 1/a.

Now if that index number is another number (e.g 2) then that number goes at the bottom of the fraction.

In general terms, a^(-b) = 1 / (a^b)

In your case, you have 2^(-4).

So that is 1/ (2^4).

2^4 = 16 so your answer is 1/16

Answer 2

\[\large (a)^{-x} = \frac{1}{a^x}\]
