Question

Can y’all help me and tell me what the answer is please I’m a bit stuck

Answer 1

The correct choice is:

-2 to the 4th power is positive 16.

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

We need to find mistake make in work below:

`(-2x^4)^4=-16x^(16)`

The mistake here is when we have even power, the negative sign gets positive i.e
`(-a)^m=a^m` if m is even

so, in our case it would be:

`(-2x^4)^4=16x^(16)`

The correct choice is:

-2 to the 4th power is positive 16.

Option C is correct.
