Question

I need help with this what would k be? Or is she correct

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of k=1

So, Maura claim is incorrect. The value of k=1 and not k=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the value of k if $2^4=16^k$

We are given:

$2^4=16^k$

Exponent rule, if bases are equal the exponents are equal

We can write $16= 2^4$

$2^4=(2^4)^k\\2^4=2^{4k}$

Now since the base is same, i,e 2 so, the exponents will be same

$4=4k\\k=1$

So, the value of k=1

So, Maura claim is incorrect. The value of k=1 and not k=1/2
