Question
Use a calculator to approximate each exponential expression to three decimal places.$$\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-1.4}$$
Step 1
One of the properties is that when we have a negative exponent, we can take the reciprocal of the base to make the exponent positive. So, we can rewrite the expression as follows: $$ \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-1.4} = 4^{1.4} $$ Show more…
