Using the Product Rule of Exponents, what is the exponent of (1/2) to the 2 power times (1/2) to the 2 power; 2 in exponential simplest form?

Answer 1

Applying the Product Rule of Exponents, we add the exponents when multiplying powers with the same base.

Thus, we have:
(1/2)^2 * (1/2)^2 = (1/2)^(2+2) = (1/2)^4 = 1/(2^4) = 1/16

So, the exponential simplest form is 1/16.
