Use the Product Rule of Exponents to simplify the expression 2^4 x 2^2. (1 point)

Answer 1

The product rule of exponents states that when multiplying two numbers with the same base, you keep the base the same and add the exponents.

So, 2^4 x 2^2 can be simplified as:

2^(4+2) = 2^6

Therefore, the simplified expression is 2^6.
