Question

What is the value of (-14^0)^-2?

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of given expression is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$(-14^0)^{-2}$

If a is a real number, then $a^0=1$.

$(-1)^{-2}$                 $[\because a^0=1]$

Using exponent property we get,

$(-1)^{-2}=\frac{1}{(-1)^2}$                    $[\because a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}]$

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

$(-1)^{-2}=1$

Therefore the value of given expression is 1.
