OpenStudy (anonymous):

order of operations, do the 4^3 and 4^4 first, then multiply them together

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

so 3*4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4^3=4*4*4 4^4=4*4*4*4

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

12 and 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite, you added them together, you want to multiply. so 4 times 4 times 4 = 4^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mulitplying same base to different exponent. 4^(4+3)-9. this is 4^(-2). This would be 1/16.

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

ohhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AKA C, 1/4^2. Hope this helps!
