Step-by-step explanation:
no, the answer is definitely NOT 4⁴.
4² is smaller than 4⁶, right ?
so, 4²/4⁶ must be smaller than 1.
remember, what we do with exponents when we multiply terms ? we add the exponents.
like 4²×4⁶ = 4⁸
and when we divide terms ? we subtract the exponents.
4²/4⁶ =
[tex] {4}^{ - 4} [/tex]
because 2 - 6 = -4
