list the following numbers in order from least to greatest 2^2, 2^-2, 2^3, 2^-3 help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can simplify them into: \[2^2, 1/2^2, 2^3, 1/2^3\] so the arrangment should be \[1/2^3, 1/2^2, 2^2,2^3\] or in a more simplified version \[1/8,1/4,4,8\]

/ but where does the 2^-3 go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the negative in the power means the Reciprocal, in other words 2^-3 =1/2^3
