Answer 1

4^2 * 4^8 = B)4^10

Explanation:

When multiplying numbers with exponents, you will always add the exponents together. Therefore, 2+8=10 which is 4^10. You can also simplify the numbers and multiply them together. For example, 4^2=16 and 4^8=65,536 and when u multiply those numbers you get 1,048,576. The one that matches is 4^10=1,048,576.
