Answer:

  4² = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  1/a^-b = a^b

So, ...

 \dfrac{1}{4^{-2}}=\boxed{4^2 = 16}

_____

<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.

Suppose <br> f '(x) = xe^−x^2
iogann1982 [59]
<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • (a) The function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)
  • (b) The function is decreasing on the interval (-infinity, 0)

=======================================================

Explanation:

You should find that the derivative is entirely negative whenever x < 0. This suggests that the function f(x) is decreasing on this interval. So that takes care of part (b).

The interval x < 0 is the same as -infinity < x < 0 which then translates to the interval notation (-infinity, 0)

Similarly, you should find that the derivative is positive when x > 0. So the function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)
