Question

Apply the Properties of Integer Exponents to generate equivalent expressions to 2²/2-⁻⁴ with only positive exponents, then solve the expression. Provide the solution as a whole number. 2²/2⁻⁴=....

Answer 1

`2^(6)`

Explanation:

using the rule of exponents

•
`(a^(m) )/(a^(n) )` =
`a^((m-n))`

given

`(2^2)/(2^(-4) )`

=
`2^((2-(-4)))`

=
`2^((2+4))`

=
`2^(6)`
