To generate equivalent expressions with only positive exponents, we can use the properties of integer exponents.
First, let's simplify the expression using these properties:
2^2/2^(-4)
Using the property a^m/a^n = a^(m-n):
2^(2-(-4))
Simplifying the exponent:
2^(2+4)
Adding the exponents:
2^6
Therefore, the equivalent expression with only positive exponents is 2^6.
To solve the expression and provide the solution as a whole number, we evaluate 2^6:
2^6 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 64
Therefore, the solution as a whole number is 64.
