Rewrite the following without an exponent.
1/2^-4
1 / (1/2)^4
To rewrite 1/2^-4 without an exponent, we can use the rule that states that any number raised to a negative exponent is equivalent to the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent.
So, 1/2^-4 can be rewritten as 1/(1/2^4).
To simplify further, we can flip the fraction within the parentheses: 1/1 multiplied by 2^4/1.
Therefore, 1/2^-4 is equivalent to 2^4.
To rewrite 1/2^-4 without an exponent, we need to change it to a form where there is no negative exponent. Recall that a negative exponent indicates that the base should be in the denominator.
In this case, since 2^-4 is in the denominator, we can move it to the numerator by changing the sign of the exponent to positive.
So, 1/2^-4 becomes 1 * 2^4.
Thus, the rewritten expression without an exponent is 2^4.
