Question

Please tell me the answer I need it soon, I do not understand math at all, tutoring doesn’t help me either.

Answer 1

The long way to do this is to have

4*4*4 *4*4*4 *4

so we have 7 copies of '4' multiplied together

Typing this into your calculator leads to

4*4*4 *4*4*4 *4 = 16384

-----------------------------------------------

The shortcut is to use exponents

Writing 4^7 means we have a base of 4 and an exponent of 7.

Saying 4^7 is the same as saying
`4^7`

To enter in your calculator, you would hit the button labeled
`x^y`

So you'll type 4, then the
`x^y` button followed by 7

Your calculator will then show 16384 as a result.

Side note: you could compute all this by hand using pencil & paper, but to me that seems like tedious busy work (so why not use a calculator to be efficient).
