Explanation:

in order to evaluate 16^ you first must express it as 16 x 16^2

Answer 2

How do we evaluate 16³?

The exponent is the clue to solving the problem, because it tells us how many times we should multiply the base by itself.

Since the exponent is 3, we multiply the base (16) by itself 3 times:

`\mapsto\phantom{333}\bf{16^3=16*16*16}`

This evaluates to:

`\mapsto\phantom{333}\bf{4,096}`

Hence, the answer is 4,096.
