The property of negative exponents states that a non-zero number raised to a negative exponent is equal to the reciprocal of the number raised to the positive exponent.
Therefore, applying this property to 4^-5, we get:
4^-5 = 1 / 4^5
To find the numerical equivalent, we calculate 4 raised to the power of 5:
4^5 = 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 1024
So, 4^-5 is equal to 1 / 1024.
apply the propery of negative integer exponents to find the numerical equivalent of 4^-5 the answer should not contain any exponent expression or decimals
