Question

Simplify and express the result in power notation with positive exponent:(-2) power-4 ×(-2)Power-6 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(-1/2)^10

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2)^-4 * (-2)^-6

Using the law of exponents that states that if two terms are multiplied and their bases are identical then the powers of the two terms are added.

Therefore, (-2)^-4 * (-2)^-6 = (-2)^(-4-6)

= (-2)^-10

= (-1/2)^10
