Apply the Properties of Integer Exponents to generate equivalent expressions to 222−4with only positive exponents, then solve the expression. Provide the solution as a whole number.(1 point)

Answer 1

To rewrite the expression \( 2^{22 - 4} \) with only positive exponents, we can first simplify the exponent:

\[ 2^{22 - 4} = 2^{18} \]

Now, we need to calculate \( 2^{18} \).

Calculating \( 2^{18} \):

\[ 2^{18} = 262144 \]

Thus, the equivalent expression with only positive exponents is \( 2^{18} \), and the solution is:

\[ \boxed{262144} \]
