Q. Evaluate. Write your answer as a whole number or as a simplified fraction.\newline4242=4^{2} \cdot 4^{2}=
  1. Identify Bases and Exponents: Identify the bases and the exponents.\newlineIn the expression 42×424^{2}\times4^{2}, 44 is the base which is raised to the exponent 22 in both terms.\newlineBase: 44\newlineExponent: 22
  2. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the rule of exponents for multiplication.\newlineWhen multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents.\newlineSo, 42×424^{2}\times4^{2} becomes 42+24^{2+2}.
  3. Calculate New Exponent: Calculate the new exponent.\newline2+22 + 2 equals 44.\newlineSo, 42×424^{2}\times4^{2} simplifies to 444^{4}.
  4. Evaluate Exponential Expression: Evaluate 444^4. 444^4 means 44 multiplied by itself 44 times, which is 4×4×4×44\times4\times4\times4.
  5. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication. 44444*4*4*4 equals 256256.
