Simplify the expression if possible 4^3· 4^5
and write your answer as a power (using exponents).
so i got to 65,536 by multiplying 4^3 x 4^5 but past that point i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do.

@ganeshie8 Do you know how to do this?

$\large \color{red}{4}^3*\color{red}{4}^5$

ganeshie8 · Answer

since the bases are same, you can simply add the exponents : 

$\large \color{red}{4}^{3+5} $

ganeshie8 · Answer

that equals

$\large \color{red}{4}^8$

ganeshie8 · Answer

leave it like that since they want the answer as a power
