Generally
You are given an equation - to solve for something.
In this case you don't have an equation (no 'equal to' sign).
May be you were asked to 'simplify'?
Did you post the complete problem?

Re: use rules of exponents to slove
Hello, evan399!
We have: \(\displaystyle \:\left(-2x^{-2}\right)^2 \;=\;(-2)^2\left(x^^{-2}\right)^2 \;=\;4x^{-4} \;=\;\L\frac{4}{x^4}\)
Hello, evan399!
\(\displaystyle \left(-2x^{-2}\right)^2\)
is the answer: \(\displaystyle \L\:\frac{2}{x^4}\;\) . . . no
We have: \(\displaystyle \:\left(-2x^{-2}\right)^2 \;=\;(-2)^2\left(x^^{-2}\right)^2 \;=\;4x^{-4} \;=\;\L\frac{4}{x^4}\)
