Question

Simplify the expression 16*4^-4

Answer 1

First, solve the exponent part because it has a higher precedence than multiplication. And we have a negative exponent. Which means we takes the reciprocal of 4 then take to the power of 4.

4^-4 = 1/4^4 = 1/256

Now do the multiplication part.

16 * 1/256 = 1/16

Answer 2

it would be 1/16

hope this helps :)
