Substitute x = 2 and y = - 3

9/16

Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the given expression for x = 2 and y = - 3, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible.

(- x^(- 4))y^2
(- x^(- 4)) * y^2
(- 2)^(- 4) * ( - 3)^2
â–¼
Simplify
1/(- 2)^4 * (- 3)^2
1/(2)^4 * (- 3)^2
1/(2)^4 * (3)^2
1/16 * 9
9/16
