write each of the following numbers as a power of the number 2

Answer
The power on 2 is either -3.5 in decimal form or (-7/2) in fraction form.
Explanation
To do this, we have to first note that
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{2}=2^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \text{And} \\ 16=2^4 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, we can then simplify the given expression
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{16}=\frac{2^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2^4}=2^{\frac{1}{2}-4} \\ =2^{0.5-4} \\ =2^{-3.5} \\ OR \\ =2^{\frac{-7}{2}} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hope this Helps!!!
