Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving exponents with a negative exponent remember that it's not longer multiplication it's division and in order to divide you have to rewrite the exponent as a fraction and then solve the exponent.
[tex]4^{-2}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{4^2}=4\times4=16=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
