Question 46523: how would i solve this problem:

(-4^2)^-3

that is "(negative 4 squared) raised to the negative 3rd power" incase you didnt get that. i dont know if i add the exponents or multiply them or work it out like this:

(-4^2)^-3

(16)^-3

(1/16)(1/16)(1/16)= 1/4096

that just doesnt seem right to me. i really need your help. these summer assignments are killing me. trig is gunna be such a whore next year.
