For this case we have the following expression:
[tex](-4)(-4)
[/tex]
By properties of exponents we have:
Same basis, the exponents are added.
We have then:
[tex](-4)^{1+1}[/tex]
Then, rewriting the exponent we have:
[tex](-4)^{2}[/tex]
Therefore, an exponent to rewrite the expression is:
2
Answer:
[tex](-4)^{2}[/tex]
an exponent to rewrite the expression is 2.
