Question

Express 16² as a power with base 2.

Answer 1

To express 16² as a power with base 2, we can write it as 2^4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express 16² as a power with base 2, we need to find the power to which 2 needs to be raised to get 16. We can start by writing 16 as a multiplication of 2 multiplied by itself:

16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2.

Since there are 4 2's in the multiplication, we can write 16 as 24.
