like i got an answer but its close to the answer and i dont know what i did wrong

#

i got 16x but its wrong

near birch
#

u didnt account the - in the power

#

and then u multiply by x so it goes away

#

its js 16?

#

oh because i did -1/4 x 4 so thats -1 and then when you times by x its +1 so i got 16x so i need to do the reciprocal

x¹ = (x^(¼))⁴
(x^(1/4))⁴(2x^(-¼))⁴
(x^(¼) × 2x^(-¼))⁴
(2x^(-¼+¼))⁴
(2)⁴ = 16

Distributing the power is so much quicker

according to the rules of bidmas you raise the 2 to 4 then you raise the x^-1/4 by 4 first
