Question

Can someone pls answer and explain this correctly?

Answer 1

Answer:

6^4 is equivalent to 3^4 x (2^2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

3^4 x (2^2)^2                  6^8 = 1679616

  3^4 x (4)^2                    6^4 = 1296

     81 x 16                       5^4 = 625

         1296                       5^8 = 390625

Answer 2

Answer:

$6^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do for this is follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Substraction) Which is the order of operations.

First you do parenthesis, $(2^2)^2$, when you have a positive exponent outside a parenthesis like this, you add them together, and in this case, you get, $(2^2)^2=2^4=16$

After that, you do the rest of the exponents as well as multiplication, $3^4=81$.

Now we plug in the 81 from our last step along with the 16 from the first step and multiply them together. $3^4*(2^2)^2=81*16=1296$

Then you just simply need to find which of the answers come out to be the result we got which is 1296. Out of these 4 possible answers, $6^4$ ends up being equal to 1296 which means that is the correct answer.
