Question

4^-5

how to solve with steps?​

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(1024)`

Explanation:

We can re-write 4^-5 as
`(1)/(4)^(5)`. This is because when we have a negative number as an exponent we flip the fraction (
`(4)/(1)` →
`(1)/(4)` ) and turn the exponent into it's positive form.

`(1)/(4)` ·
`(1)/(4)` ·
`(1)/(4)` ·
`(1)/(4)` ·
`(1)/(4)` =
`(1)/(1024)`

(4 · 4 · 4 · 4 · 4) = 1024 then just put a one over it.

Hope this helps!
