Answer 9

Yes and in \(\sqrt{16}^2\) what is the base and what is the power?

Answer 10

4 and 2

Answer 11

Correct now just replace \(\sqrt{16}\) with 4 and leave the 2 as the power.

Answer 12

but lets say the question asks to write it as a single power of 4

Answer 13

so would it be 2^4?

Answer 14

\(4^2\) is 16
2*2*2*2=4*2*2=8*2=16
so \(4^2~ \rm and~2^4\) are the same thing.
