what is the solutkon as a whole number 2^2 / 2^-4 * -64 -46 64 46
To find the solution to the expression:
(2^2 / 2^-4) * -64 -46
We can simplify it step by step:
First, we solve the exponent expressions:
2^2 = 4
2^-4 = 1 / 2^4 = 1 / 16 = 1/16
Now, substitute these values back into the original expression:
4 / (1/16) * -64 - 46
Now, let's simplify the two terms separately:
4 / (1/16) = 4 * 16 = 64
Substituting the simplified value back into the expression:
64 * -64 - 46
Now, we can perform the multiplication and subtraction in order:
-4096 - 46 = -4142
Therefore, the solution as a whole number is -4142.
