what is (1/4) to the power of five

You want to evaluate the expression \((\frac{1}{4})^5\). I can help you with that!

 

\((\frac{1}{4})^5\)	Distribute the exponent to both the numerator and denominator.
\(\frac{1^5}{4^5}\)	\(1^x=1\) no matter the value of x.
\(\frac{1}{4^5}=\frac{1}{4*4*4*4*4}=\frac{1}{1024}\approx0.000977\)

 

That's all there is to it!
