[ Answer ]
[tex]\boxed{2^{3} \ * \ 4^{2} }[/tex]
[ Explanation ]
Exponent: A number that tells you how many times to multiply a number by itself
2 * 2 * 2 * 4 * 4
You need to multiply 2 by itself 3 times. Therefore, 2 * 2 * 2 turns into: [tex]2^{3}[/tex]
You multiply 4 by itself 2 times. Therefore, 4 * 4 turns into: [tex]4^{2}[/tex]
Now, multiply them by each other: [tex]2^{3} \ * \ 4^{2}[/tex]
Remember, you do not multiply the top number by the bottom number. The top number ONLY tells how many times the bottom numbers needs to be multiplied by itself.
