Question

Can someone please help me with positive and negative exponents? I fan and medal!
What is the value of the expression?

(–4)^4

Answer 1

well
if u r given something like \[a^b\]then it means that u r multiplying a with b number of a's for example if u r given-\[(-2)^3\]then it means that u r multiplying (-2) with 3 other (-2)s
so u get -

-2 x -2 x -2 =-8

so in this case u have (-4)^4 can u tell how can u expand it? :)

Answer 2

Do I flip it?

Answer 3

2*3 is 6

Answer 4

well u \[(-4)^4\]jst means that u r multiplying (-4) with 4 more (-4)s :)

so u can write \[-4^4\]as -4 x -4 x -4 x -4
