What is 1/2 to the power of 4?

Exponents are very important concepts in mathematics that make our calculations easier and can be useful to represent large numbers in compact form.

Answer: 1/2 to the power of 4 is (1/2)⁴ = 1/16.

Let's understand the solution.

Explanation:

We can write 1/2 to the power of 4 as (1/2)⁴.

Now, (1/2)⁴ = (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/16

Hence, 1/2 to the power of 4 is (1/2)⁴ = 1/16.
