OpenStudy (anonymous):

but we are using it from right to left \[4^x\times 4^2 =4^{x+2}\]

Natala i was going from the right hand side \[4^{x+2}\] to the left hand side \[4^x\times 4^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is where the \[4^2\] came from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see thank your guy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good. now it is clear where it 16 came from and so you divide to get \[4^x\] by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it now thank again
