Full solution

Q. Simplify to a single power of 44 :\newline4×42 4 \times 4^{2} \newlineAnswer: 4 4 ^\square
  1. Identify base and exponents: Identify the base and the exponents in the expression 4×424\times4^{2}. In 4×424\times4^{2}, the base for both terms is 44. The first term has an implied exponent of 11 (since 4=414 = 4^{1}). The second term has an exponent of 22.
  2. Apply product of powers property: Apply the product of powers property for exponents with the same base.\newlineThe product of powers property states that when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents.\newlineSo, 41×42=41+24^{1}\times4^{2} = 4^{1+2}.
  3. Perform addition of exponents: Perform the addition of the exponents.\newline1+2=31 + 2 = 3\newlineSo, 41×42=434^{1}\times4^{2} = 4^{3}.
  4. Write final answer: Write the final answer.\newlineThe expression simplifies to a single power of 44 as 434^{3}.
