Question #2ed16

Answer 1

`4^-8`

Explanation:

To the power means relates to the exponents. So for example,

In your question 4 to the power of 2 is `4^2`
and 4 to the power of 10 is `4^10`

So to divide, it is `4^2/4^10`

Following the exponent rules that you learned, we subtract the indexes (since they have the same base)

`4^(2-10)=4^-8` So the answer is 4 to the power of negative 8.

Not sure why you did 10-8, but I think you had the right idea. You just subtracted the exponents wrong.
