Apply the Properties of Integer Exponents to generate equivalent expressions to 222−4 with only positive exponents, then solve the expression. Provide the solution as a whole number.(1 point)
To generate an equivalent expression with only positive exponents, we can use the property of negative exponents, which states that $a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}$. Applying this to the given expression, we have $222^{-4}=\dfrac{1}{222^4}$. To solve the expression, we evaluate $\dfrac{1}{222^4}$. Evaluating $222^4$ gives us $23425629376$. Taking the reciprocal of this, we have $\dfrac{1}{23425629376}=\boxed{0.00000000004272}$.
