Multiply Powers with Same Base: Solving 4² × 4⁴

Question

$4^2\times4^4=$

00:06 When multiplying powers with the same base,

00:10 add the exponents together. For example, the answer is six.

00:14 And that's how we solve it!

To solve the exercise we use the property of multiplication of powers with the same bases:

$a^n * a^m = a^{n+m}$

With the help of this property, we can add the exponents.

$4^2\times4^4=4^{4+2}=4^6$

$4^6$
