-
2^16 * 2^16
-
2^16
-
2^55
-
2^6
Correct Answer
A. 2^16Explanation
The given expression can be represented as a single exponential expression by adding the exponents of the base 2. In this case, the base 2 is raised to the power of 16 and multiplied by another base 2 raised to the power of 16. When multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, the exponents are added. Therefore, 2^16 * 2^16 can be simplified to 2^(16+16), which equals 2^32.Rate this question:

The Multiplication Law of Exponents says that for any numbers b, n, and m, bn * bm = bn + m.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that the Multiplication Law of Exponents states that when multiplying two numbers with the same base, you can add their exponents. In this case, the law is applied to the expression bn * bm, where b is the base and n and m are the exponents. By applying the law, the expression simplifies to bn+m. Therefore, the statement that bn * bm = bn + m is true.Rate this question:

Use the Multiplication Law of Exponents to simplify the exponential expression below. 52 * 56
-
5^12
-
5^8
-
5^6
-
5
Correct Answer
A. 5^8Explanation
The Multiplication Law of Exponents states that when multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you can add their exponents. In this case, we have 5^12 multiplied by 5^6. Since the base is the same (5), we can add the exponents together to simplify the expression. 12 + 6 equals 18, so the simplified expression is 5^18. However, the given answer is 5^8, which is incorrect. Therefore, the explanation for the given answer is that it is incorrect.Rate this question:

-
2^400
Correct Answer
A. 2^400Explanation
The given expression is the product of two exponential expressions with the same base 2. According to the Multiplication Law of Exponents, when multiplying exponential expressions with the same base, we add the exponents. In this case, 100 + 300 = 400. Therefore, the simplified expression is 2^400.Rate this question:

-
6^0
Correct Answer
A. 6^16Explanation
The Multiplication Law of Exponents states that when multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you can add the exponents. In this case, we have 6^16 * 6^0. Since any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, 6^0 simplifies to 1. Therefore, the expression becomes 6^16 * 1, which is equal to 6^16.Rate this question:

-
9^9
Correct Answer
A. 9^44Explanation
The given expression can be simplified using the Multiplication Law of Exponents. According to this law, when multiplying two numbers with the same base, the exponents are added together. In this case, we have 9^44, which means that we need to add the exponents of 9. Therefore, the answer is 9^44.Rate this question:

-
3^204
-
3^2140
-
3^0
-
3^224
Correct Answer
A. 3^224Explanation
The Multiplication Law of Exponents states that when multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you add their exponents. In this case, we have 3^204 multiplied by 3^2140. By applying the law, we can add the exponents: 204 + 2140 = 2344. Therefore, the simplified expression is 3^2344. However, since this answer is not among the options provided, we can conclude that the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 5^16Explanation
The given expression is asking for the simplified form of (52)8. In this case, 52 is the base and 8 is the exponent. To simplify, we multiply the base 52 by itself 8 times. Therefore, the simplified form is 5^16.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 9^28Explanation
The correct answer is 9^28 because when we have an exponential expression raised to another exponent, we multiply the exponents. In this case, we have 9 raised to the power of 7, and then that result raised to the power of 4. So, 7 multiplied by 4 equals 28, which gives us 9^28.Rate this question:

-
(-11)^ -10
-
(-11)^ -21
-
-11
-
(-11)^4
Correct Answer
A. (-11)^ -21Explanation
The given expression is in the form of (-11) raised to a negative exponent. When a negative exponent is applied to a number, it means that the reciprocal of that number is taken to the positive exponent. Therefore, (-11)^-21 is equivalent to 1/(-11)^21. This is the simplified exponential expression as it represents the reciprocal of (-11) raised to the positive exponent 21.Rate this question:
