222−4=
To apply the properties of integer exponents to generate an equivalent expression with only positive exponents, we can use the property that states:
a^(-n) = 1/a^n
In this case, we have:
222^(-4)
Using the property mentioned above, we can rewrite this expression as:
1/222^4
Now, we can solve the expression:
1/222^4 = 1/(222*222*222*222)
Evaluating the expression:
1/222^4 = 1/234256 => Approximately 0.000004.
Therefore, the solution as a whole number is 0.
