You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \({0.25}^{-2.5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[{0.25}^{-2.5} = 32\]


\[\begin{aligned}{0.25}^{-2.5}& = \left(\frac{25}{100}\right)^{- \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right)}\\& = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{- \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right)}\\& = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{- \left(2 + \frac{1}{2}\right)}\\& = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{- \frac{5}{2}}\\& = \frac{1}{(\frac{1}{4})^{5/2}}\\& = 32\end{aligned}\]
