Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What happens if you change the base of the exponent in (1/5)2(1/5)^2?
  2. How would the expression change if 4-4 was raised to an even power instead of an odd one?
  3. Can you express (1/5)2(1/5)^2 as a decimal before multiplying with (4)3(-4)^3?
  4. How does the negative sign affect the overall result when raising 4-4 to a power?
  5. How would the result differ if the multiplication was reversed, i.e., (4)3(1/5)2(-4)^3 \cdot (1/5)^2?

Tip: When multiplying powers, pay attention to the sign of the base, as it greatly influences the final result.
