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
