Answer 2

Hi there! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this wonderful day. The answer is 1 because -1^4 (negative one to the fourth power) means you have to multiply -1 by itself 4 times (so, it would look like this: "-1*-1*-1*-1"). The reason it is a positive 1 instead of a negative 1 is because when you multiply or divide a negative number by another negative number, you get a positive number. If you multiply or divide a negative by a positive, you will get a negative number. If you multiply/divide a positive by a positive, you get a positive.

I hope this helps! :3
