Answer:
[See Below]
Step-by-step explanation:
✦ First split the equation in little pieces and solve them:
✧ 4 - 16 = -12
✧ 4 + 4² = 20 (4² = 16)
✦ Now divide them:
✧ -12 ÷ 20 = -0.6
So I'm guessing you're trying to simplify 4²... so it'd be 16 because none of the choices are the simplified version of the problem.

Answer:
A. 2^11
Step-by-step explanation:
(They are basically asking what's 2^4 × 2^7, but with more words.)
I usually do each exponent individually:
2^4 is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 (or you could have read the text to figure that out)
2^7 is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 128
Then just multiply 128 and 16 to get 2,048, and see which option also gives you 2,048.
BUT, you can also:
(Combine the exponents together to get your answer. Just remember that if it's multiplication you add them, and if it's division you subtract them.)
2^4 × 2^7
4 + 7 = 11
2^11 (This equals 2,048 btw. You don't even have to check all the options to get the answer).
Hope this helps friend :)
The last part I learned from another user, while answering one of your other questions. I personally find this mind blowing, lol.
