Question

Which expression is equivalent to the expression (2^4)(2^3)?
A. 2^12
B. 4^7
C. 48
D. 128

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can simplify each term by solving for the exponents

So $2^{4}$ now equals 16

And $2^{3}$ now equals 8

Now we can plug that in to our original equation of ($2^{4}$)($2^{3}$)

Since we know what each of those equals, the equation now looks like

(16)(8)

We know that here, the parenthesis indicate multiplication

So that equation is the same as

16×8 which equals 128

So our solution is 128
