Answer: D) 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2^-4 * 2^2
When you are multiplying exponents with the same bases, you just add the exponets
-4+2= -2
Now you have 2^-2, which is the answer for a^b
However, you can simplify this even more.
2^-2 makes you rewrite the negative power
It will then go 1/2^2 which equals 1/4 (0.25)
