Simplify (4^2)*(2^3)*16

Indice rules are fundamental in answering this question 1) (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)  2) (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)  3) (a^b)^c = a^(bc)  4) a^(-b) = 1/(a^b)  5) a⁰ = 1 We can simplify 4² to (2²)² and using rule 3 we get 2⁴. We can also see that this is equal to 2222, which is equal to 16. Therefore we have (2⁴)* (2³)*(2⁴). Using rule 1, this becomes 2¹¹
