Apply the Properties of Integer Exponents to generate equivalent expressions to 2^2/2^−4 with only positive exponents, then solve the expression. Provide the solution as a whole number.(1 point)

Question

2^2/2^−4=

Answer 1

Using the properties of integer exponents, we can rewrite 2^2/2^(-4) as:

2^2 * 2^4

Now, simplify the expression by adding the exponents:

2^(2+4) = 2^6

Therefore, the equivalent expression is 2^6.

To solve the expression and provide the solution as a whole number, we evaluate 2^6:

2^6 = 64

So, the solution is 64.
