Question

find the value of the power.
$2^4$
16
15
18
17

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent definition

The power \(a^n\) means multiplying \(a\) by itself \(n\) times. For \(2^4\), \(a = 2\) and \(n = 4\).

Step2: Calculate the power

\(2^4=2\times2\times2\times2\). First, \(2\times2 = 4\), then \(4\times2 = 8\), and finally \(8\times2 = 16\).

Answer:

A. 16
