Answer:
4² = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rule of exponents is ...
1/a^-b = a^b
So, ...

_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
If you were to evaluate this using the Order of Operations, you would evaluate the exponent first:
1/4^-2 = 1/(1/16)
Then, you would do the division.
1/(1/16) = 16

We sometimes find it convenient to manipulate exponential terms to the form with the smallest positive exponents before we begin the evaluation.
It is the third answer. Absolute value just means the distance from that number (-3 in your case) to 0 on a number line. Choice 3 shows just that.
Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
7x−2(3x−5)=26
Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 3x−5.
7x−6x+10=26
Combine 7x and −6x to get x.
x+10=26
Subtract 10 from both sides.
x=26−10
Subtract 10 from 26 to get 16.
x=16
Graph if needed:
1. Use the FOIL method: (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd
a^2b^2+8ab−9ab−72
2. Collect the like terms
a^2b^2+(8ab−9ab)−72
3. Simplify
a^2b^2-ab-72
Hope this helps
