Answer:

2·2·2·2 = 16

Explanation:

everytime a number is raised by another, that means you are going to multiply the base number times itself as many times as the exponents tells you. this is a little but tricky to explain, so let me give you some examples:

2² → in this case the base number is 2 and the exponent is 2 as well, so you will multiply 2 times itself, 2 times:

2² = 2 · 2 = 4

2³ → in this case the base number is 2 and the exponent is 3, so you will multiply 2 times itself, 3 times:

2³ = 2 · 2 · 2 = 8

In the question asked, 2 is being raised by 4, so you will multiply 2 times itself, 4 times:

2^4 = 2·2·2·2 = 16

the same format will be used regardless of the base number and the exponent

i hope this helps! :)
