\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}

  • Solve ⇨ 4 - (- 4)^-3


\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}


\sf \: 4 - ( - 4 ) ^ { - 3 }

Calculate -4 to the power of -3 and get -1/64.


\dashrightarrow \sf \: ( - 4) ^(3 ) \\ = \sf-(1)/(4 ^(3) ) \\ = \sf - ( 1)/(4) * - ( 1)/(4) * - ( 1)/( 4) \\ = \sf \: - ( 1)/(64)

Come back to the equation & substitute -4³ as -1/64.


\sf \: 4-\left(-(1)/(64)\right) \\

The opposite of -1/64 is +1/64.


\sf \: 4+(1)/(64) \\

Add 4 and 1/64 to get 257/64 (take 64 as the LCM).


\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf(257)/(64) = 4.01}}
