Respuesta :

D is the correct answer because 2*2 equals 4 and 4*2 equals 8 and 8*2 equals 16. Also, we can only find a equation with a exponent, since it asks for 16 in exponential form.

Hope this helps!

Here is your answer:

Remember that exponential forms have a power which crosses out options A, and B.

  • Solve options C, and D
  • 2 to the 3 power[tex]= 2^3[/tex]
  • [tex]2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2[/tex]
  • [tex]2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8[/tex]
  • [tex]8 > 16[/tex]
  • 2 to the 4 power [tex]= 2^4[/tex]
  • [tex]2^4 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2[/tex]
  • [tex]2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 16[/tex]
  • [tex]16 = 16[/tex]
  • [tex]=16[/tex]

Therefore your answer is option D "2 to the 4 power."
