Question

Simplify to a single power of 2:
2, squared, dot, 2, to the power 4

Answer 1

To simplify \( 2^2 \cdot 2^4 \), we can use the property of exponents that states \( a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \).

Here, we have:

\[
2^2 \cdot 2^4 = 2^{2+4} = 2^6
\]

Thus, the expression simplifies to \( 2^6 \).
