Solving (1/4)⁴ x (-1/3)²
This problem involves the concepts of exponents and multiplication of fractions. Let's break it down step by step:
Understanding Exponents
- (1/4)⁴: This means multiplying (1/4) by itself four times: (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4)
- (-1/3)²: This means multiplying (-1/3) by itself twice: (-1/3) x (-1/3)
Calculation
-
Calculate (1/4)⁴: (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) = 1/256
-
Calculate (-1/3)²: (-1/3) x (-1/3) = 1/9
-
Multiply the results: (1/256) x (1/9) = 1/2304
