When the power is minus just flip the number and make it denominator and make the power positive

The rule for multiplying similar bases with exponents...
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
In this case:
(2^-1)(2^-4)
2^(-1-4)
2^-5 which is equal to:
1/(2^5)
1/32
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
In this case:
(2^-1)(2^-4)
2^(-1-4)
2^-5 which is equal to:
1/(2^5)
1/32
