Use the Product Rule of Exponents to simplify the expression 24 ⋅22 . bot

To simplify the expression using the Product Rule of Exponents, we first need to remember that the Product Rule states that when we multiply two numbers with the same base, we add their exponents.

In this case, we have 24 multiplied by 22, which means we have two numbers with the same base, 2.

Using the Product Rule, we can simplify the expression as follows:

24 ⋅ 22 = 2^4 ⋅ 2^2

Now remember that when we multiply two numbers with the same base, we add their exponents, so:

2^4 ⋅ 2^2 = 2^(4+2)

Finally, adding the exponents gives us:

2^(4+2) = 2^6

Therefore, the expression 24 ⋅ 22 simplifies to 2^6.
