Evaluate the Expression: Simplifying 1/4²

Question

Insert the corresponding expression:

$\frac{1}{4^2}=$

00:00 Simply put

00:03 According to the laws of exponents, any number to the power of (-N)

00:06 equals the reciprocal number to the opposite power (-N)

00:09 We will use this formula in our exercise

00:14 We'll convert to the reciprocal number and raise it to the opposite power (times(-1))

00:17 And this is the solution to the question

$4^{-2}$
