How do I simplify (2x1/4) -4th power?
Since the 2 and x^1/4 are multiplying we can do the math separately and then just multiply them afterwards2^-4 is the same as 1/(2^4) which is 1/16(x^1/4)^-4 (POWER RULES REVIEW) 2 exponents of same base you just add (basically multiply the two)so x^(1/4x-4) = x^(-1)which is just 1/xso the answer is 1/16x
