Final answer:
Given M = 2³ and N = 2², we calculate (M² · N³)² = (2¶ · 2¶)² = 2³², so the answer is B) 2³².
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to determine the value of (M² · N³)² given that M = 2³ and N = 2².
First, we find the values of M² and N³:
- M² = (2³)² = 2¶
- N³ = (2²)³ = 2¶
Then we multiply these values together:
M² · N³ = 2¶ · 2¶ = 2¶+6 = 2¹²
Finally, we square the result to get the final answer:
(M² · N³)² = (2¹²)² = 2¹²×² = 2³²
Therefore, the answer is B) 2³².
