Question

Hi. I need help with this.

PLEASE NOTE: already tried -0.125 x -2^4 but didnt work. thx

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

First, when you plug in -2, you have to put parentheses around it which you probably didn't do which is why you got it wrong. First calculate (-2)^4 then multiply the product by the rest of the expression. (-2)^4= 16. Now multiply 16 by -0.125 which is equal to -2.
