Sagot :

Answer:

 [tex](-4)^{2} = \frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given    (-4)⁻²

we will apply (a)⁻ⁿ = [tex]\frac{1}{a^{n} }[/tex]

       (-4)⁻² =  [tex]\frac{1}{(-4)^{2} }[/tex]

                [tex]= \frac{1}{(-1)^{2} (4)^{2} }[/tex]

               [tex]= \frac{1}{16}[/tex]

 [tex](-4)^{2} = \frac{1}{16}[/tex]
