Let’s check out your problem:

(2)2n=16(-2)^{2n} = 16

Full solution

Q. (2)2n=16(-2)^{2n} = 16
  1. Understand Equation and Goal: Understand the equation and the goal.\newlineWe need to find the value of nn such that (2)(-2) raised to the power of 2n2n equals 1616.\newline(2)2n=16(-2)^{2n} = 16
  2. Simplify the Equation: Simplify the equation.\newlineSince (2)2n(-2)^{2n} can be written as [(2)2]n[(-2)^2]^n and (2)2(-2)^2 is 44, we can rewrite the equation as:\newline4n=164^n = 16
  3. Recognize Power of 44: Recognize that 1616 is a power of 44. 1616 is 44 squared, which means 1616 can be written as 424^2. So, we can set the exponents equal to each other since the bases are the same. n=2n = 2
