Question

Tim wrote 16 as (-2) squared 4. Is he correct?

Answer 1

Yes, Tim was correct.

Explanation:

It is given that Tim wrote 16 as (-2) squared 4. It means

`16=(-2)^4`

We need to check whether he is correct option not.

`LHS=16`

`RHS=(-2)^4`

`RHS=(-2)* (-2)* (-2)* (-2)`

`RHS=4* 4`

`RHS=16`

`RHS=LHS`

Since LHS is equal to the RHS, therefore the Tim was correct.
