Answer 1

Answer:

The correct choice is:

-2 to the 4th power is positive 16.

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find mistake make in work below:

$(-2x^4)^4=-16x^{16}$

The mistake here is when we have even power, the negative sign gets positive i.e $(-a)^m=a^m$ if m is even

so, in our case it would be:

$(-2x^4)^4=16x^{16}$

The correct choice is:

-2 to the 4th power is positive 16.

Option C is correct.
