HELP! .. with Exponential Functions!!

Answer 1

i need help with this question...
it says: " Simplify. Write each expression as a single power with a positive exponent."
a) \[2^{4}(2^{2}) \div 2^{-6}\]
how do i do this??

Answer 2

The top line says \[2^4 \times 2^2\], so you add the indices to get \[2^6\]

Now you have \[2^6 divided by 2^(-6)\] so you SUBTRACT the bottom index from the top one to get 2^12
