Question

im doing something wrong here
(1^2*2)^4

Answer 1

This, to me, means:
\[
(1^2\cdot2)^4=(2)^4=16
\]But, I don't know if you meant \(1^{2\cdot2}\)

Answer 2

how did you get the (2)^4

Answer 3

By order of operations, we do (inside the parentheses) exponentiation, first, then multiply, then exponentiation, again:
\[
(1^2\cdot2)^4=\left((1\cdot1\right)\cdot2)^4=(1\cdot2)^4=(2)^4=16
\]

Answer 4

ok
