Question

Tim wrote 16 as (-2) squared 4. Is he correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, Tim was correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Tim wrote 16 as (-2) squared 4. It means

$16=(-2)^4$

We need to check whether he is correct option not.

$LHS=16$

$RHS=(-2)^4$

$RHS=(-2)\times (-2)\times (-2)\times (-2)$

$RHS=4\times 4$

$RHS=16$

$RHS=LHS$

Since LHS is equal to the RHS, therefore the Tim was correct.
