1 answer

To simplify the expression \((-2)(-2)(-2)(-2)\), we can group the terms:

  1. First, multiply the first two factors: \((-2)(-2) = 4\).

  2. Then, multiply the next two factors: \((-2)(-2) = 4\).

  3. Now, multiply the results of the two pairs: \(4 \times 4 = 16\).

Thus, \((-2)(-2)(-2)(-2) = 16\).

The correct response is: B 16.
