For this case we have, by definition:


a^{-b} =\frac{1}{a ^ b}

So, we have:


\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}}

On the other hand we have that by definition:


a^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{a}

Thus, the expression can be written as:


\frac{1}{\sqrt {\frac{1}{4}}} =

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}}}

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}

\frac{1*2}{1*1}=2

So, we have:


\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}= 2

Answer:


\frac{1}{4}^{-\frac{1}{2}}= 2

Identify the property used in the first five steps to solve the equation 2(x-5)-6x=-22
Alona [7]
To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this
2(x – 5) - 6x= -22(2x - 10) - 6x = -222x - 6x  = -22 +10-4x= -12x= -12/-4x=3
Hope this helps!!!
