Answer:

A.
2^7

Explanation:

The expression
2^3 * 4^2 can be written as:


2^3 * (2*2)^2 since 4 is the product of 2².

This can be simplified into:


2^3 * (2^2)^2, which can be simplified according to the law of exponents that states: Whenever you have an exponent expression that is raised to a power, you can simplify by multiplying the outer power on the inner power:


(x^m)^n = x^m^n

This allows us to simplify the expression into:


2^3 * 2^4, which we can simplify further using the exponent property that allows us to add exponents when 2 numbers with the same base are multiplied:


2^3^+^4 =
2^7
