Question

Match each expression to its exponential form.

Answer 1

`(4^(2) )/(2^(2) )` = 4

(8-4)x4 =
`4^(2)`

`2^(2) +2^(2)` = 8

Explanation:

To solve the first one simplify the exponents and then divide them;
`4^(2)` equals 16 and
`2^(2)` equals 4. Therefore the expression is 16/4, which equals 4.

Follow PEMDAS to solve the next one. First paratheses, (8-4) equals 4. Then, multiply by 4. 4x4 can also be rewritten as
`4^(2)`.

Simplify the exponents to solve the last expression.
`2^(2)` is 4, so the expression is equal to 4+4, which is 8.
