Given the numerical equation:
2^-4
Solution:
A number raised to a certain negative degree, is the same as raising the number as a fraction with a degree. To clearly illustrate this, since we have 2^-4, this also means,
= 1 / 2^4
Thus if we simplify the given equation, we can have.
= 1 /16
Final answer:
= 1/16
