what is the solutkon as a whole number 2^2 / 2^-4 * -64 -46 64 46

Answer 1

To find the solution to the expression:

(2^2 / 2^-4) * -64 -46

We can simplify it step by step:

First, we solve the exponent expressions:

2^2 = 4
2^-4 = 1 / 2^4 = 1 / 16 = 1/16

Now, substitute these values back into the original expression:

4 / (1/16) * -64 - 46

Now, let's simplify the two terms separately:

4 / (1/16) = 4 * 16 = 64

Substituting the simplified value back into the expression:

64 * -64 - 46

Now, we can perform the multiplication and subtraction in order:

-4096 - 46 = -4142

Therefore, the solution as a whole number is -4142.
