Answer 2

Step 4

Explanation:

Tasha was correct in all the steps leading up to the fourth one. However, in the fourth step was where she messed up.

She said that:
`(1)/(256) =-(1)/(4^(-4))=4^(-4)`

However, when we have a negative exponent, in order to get rid of the negative, we simply take the reciprocal of the number and then make the exponent positive. Here, the answer should be:

`(1)/(256) =(1)/(4^(4))=4^(-4)`
