Solution

simplify

4^{\frac{- 5}{2}}

Solution

\frac{1}{32}

+1

Solution steps

4^{\frac{- 5}{2}}

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= (2^{2})^{\frac{- 5}{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}, a \geq 0

= 2^{2 \cdot \frac{- 5}{2}}

2 \cdot \frac{- 5}{2} = - 5

= 2^{- 5}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

2^{- 5} = \frac{1}{2 ^{5}}

= \frac{1}{2 ^{5}}

2^{5} = 32

= \frac{1}{32}
