first step please?? and explain it in words
OpenStudy (mertsj):
The first step was to use this property:
\[a ^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}\]
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
ok and how did you use it in the problem?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
I changed 2^-2 to 1 over 2^2
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
look.. it would be awesome.if you can do it like this...
1. ( you explain what your doing in the step..
and then show it working it out in the actual problem..
2.. etc..

That would be excellent practice for you: study the steps I wrote and figure out how the laws of exponents apply and then write it down.
