Question

So my questions are: Rewrite each

expression below without negative or zero exponents and numbers are 4 to the power of negative 1 please help

Answer 1

We are given expression:
`4^(-1)`

We need to write the expression without negative exponents.

We need to convert it in positive exponents.

We know the rule of negative exponents as following:

`a^(-n) = (1)/(a^n)`

On applying same rule, the 4 would go in the bottom of 1.

`4^(-1) = (1)/(4^1)`

We know 4^1 = 4.

Therefore,

`(1)/(4^1) = (1)/(4)`
