I can simplify this for you!

 

\((4b)^{-2}\) First, let's use the rule that \(a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}\)
\(\frac{1}{(4b)^2}\) Simplify \((4b)^2\). To do this, "distribute the exponent to both the variable and the coefficient.
\(\frac{1}{4^2b^2}\) Simplify 4^2. 
\(\frac{1}{16b^2}\) You cannot simplify any further.
