simplify-(1/2)^{-2}

Solution

simplify

- (\frac{1}{2})^{- 2}

Solution

- 4

Solution steps

- (\frac{1}{2})^{- 2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

(\frac{1}{2})^{- 2} = \frac{1}{( \frac{1}{2} ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{( \frac{1}{2} ) ^{2}}

(\frac{1}{2})^{2} = \frac{1}{4}

= - \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}

- \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}} = - 4

= - 4
