First, solve the exponent part because it has a higher precedence than multiplication. And we have a negative exponent. Which means we takes the reciprocal of 4 then take to the power of 4.
4^-4 = 1/4^4 = 1/256
Now do the multiplication part.
16 * 1/256 = 1/16
4^-4 = 1/4^4 = 1/256
Now do the multiplication part.
16 * 1/256 = 1/16
The value of the expression 16 × 4⁻⁴ will be 0.0625.3.
What is simplification?
Making anything easier to accomplish or comprehend, as well as making it less difficult, is the definition of simplification.
The expression is given below.
⇒ 16 × 4⁻⁴
We know that a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ. Then the expression will be
⇒ 16 / 4⁴
We know that aⁿ = (a × a × a × ... × a) where a is n times. Then the expression will be
⇒ 16 / (4 × 4 × 4 × 4)
⇒ 16 / 256
⇒ 1 / 16
⇒ 0.0625
Then the value of the expression 16 × 4⁻⁴ will be 0.0625.3.
