B. -12

C. 1/16

D. 1/64

Answer 1

The answer is D. The bottom number is multiplied by two each time.

Answer 2

Based on the pattern table, the value of a is 1/64.

What is the value of a?

Given:

• $2^{-1} =\frac{1}{2}$
• $2^{-2} =\frac{1}{4}$
• $2^{-3} =\frac{1}{8}$
• $2^{-4} =\frac{1}{16}$
• $2^{-5} =\frac{1}{32}$

Find:

• The value of $2^{-6}$ which is represented by a.

Solution:

The negative exponent rule tells us that a number with a negative exponent should be put to the denominator, and vice versa.

So, $2^{-6} = \frac{1}{2^{6} } = \frac{1}{64}$

As, $2^{6} = 64$.

So, a = 1/64

Hence, the value of a is 1/64
