Question

1. explain what 4 raised to the fourth power means.

Explanation:

In exponentiation, when a number \(a\) is raised to the \(n\) - th power (\(a^n\)), it means multiplying the base number \(a\) by itself \(n\) times. For \(4\) raised to the fourth - power (\(4^4\)), the base is \(4\) and the exponent is \(4\). So it means \(4\times4\times4\times4\).

Answer:

\(4\) raised to the fourth power means multiplying \(4\) by itself \(4\) times, i.e., \(4\times4\times4\times4\).
