If (4^4)^x = 4^32, what is the value of x?


A. 8

B. 28

C. 4

D. 7

Answer 1

When you have a number raised to the power of a number inside parenthesis and then it is raised to the power of another number, it can be simplified by multiplying the two exponents together.(4^4)^x = 4^32

To find x, divide the exponent on the right by the known exponent on the left:

x = 32/4

x = 8
