I need to know why the answer is 12.5 and how you got it.

If p(4) = 16 then
n*4² + 8 = 16
16n + 8 = 16
16n = 16 - 8
16n = 8
n = 8/16 = 0.5

If n = 0.5 then
p(-3) = 0.5*(-3)² + 8
p(-3) = 0.5 * 9 + 8
p(-3) = 4.5 + 8
p(-3) = 12.5

Hope this helps

What is the simplified value of the exponential expression 16^1\4

Natalka [10]

If you observe that $16 = 2^4$ , you can rewrite the expression as

$16^{\frac{1}{4}} = (2^4)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

Now, if you use the exponent rule $(a^b)^c = a^{bc}$ , you may rewrite the expression again:

$(2^4)^{\frac{1}{4}} = 2^{4\cdot\frac{1}{4}} = 2^1 = 2$
