Which expression is equivalent to the expression (2^4)(2^3)?
A. 2^12
B. 4^7
C. 48
D. 128

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can simplify each term by solving for the exponents
So [tex]2^{4}[/tex] now equals 16
And [tex]2^{3}[/tex] now equals 8
Now we can plug that in to our original equation of ([tex]2^{4}[/tex])([tex]2^{3}[/tex])
Since we know what each of those equals, the equation now looks like
(16)(8)
We know that here, the parenthesis indicate multiplication
So that equation is the same as
16×8 which equals 128
So our solution is 128
