Question

use multiplication to expand the expression below. then compute. (-4)^4 press the × button or type the * symbol on your keyboard to represent multiplication. expanded form: answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent definition

$(-4)^4=(-4)\times(-4)\times(-4)\times(-4)$

Step2: Multiply two -4s at a time

$(-4)\times(-4) = 16$, so $(-4)\times(-4)\times(-4)\times(-4)=16\times(-4)\times(-4)$

Step3: Multiply again

$16\times(-4)= - 64$, then $16\times(-4)\times(-4)=-64\times(-4)$

Step4: Final multiplication

$-64\times(-4)=256$

Answer:

Expanded Form: $(-4)\times(-4)\times(-4)\times(-4)$
