Evaluate Expression \$ (-6)^4 \$.

Step 1

Given expression

\$ (- 6)^4 \$

Explanation:

Here, understand the expression

\$ (−6)^4 \$ means (−6) raised to the power of 4.

Step 2

Apply the exponent:

\$ (−6)^4 \$ means multiplying -6 by itself four times.

Explanation:

Here, we applied the exponents.

Step 3

Calculate:

\$(−6)^4 = (−6)×(−6)×(−6)×(−6)\$

\$(-6)^4 = (36) × (36)\$

\$(-6)^4 = 1296\$

Explanation:

Here, we calculated and evaluated the multiplication.

Step 4

The value of \$(-6)^4\$ is 1296

Explanation:

So, the result of the expression \$(-6)^4\$ is 1296.
