Question

Simplify (1/2)4.squared

Answer 1

is your expression like this:
\[\Large {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^4}\]

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

we can write this:
\[\Large {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^4} = \frac{1}{{{2^4}}} = ...?\]

Answer 4

Rule:
\(\Large \left( \dfrac{a}{b} \right) ^n = \dfrac{a^n}{b^n} \)

Apply the rule:
\(\Large \left( \dfrac{1}{2} \right) ^4 = \dfrac{1^4}{2^4} = \dfrac{1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1}{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 } \)

What is 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 = ?
What is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = ?

Answer 5

Would it not be (1/2) times (1/2) and 4 times 4?
