Identify Bases and Exponents: Identify the bases and the exponents.In the expression 22×22, the base is 2 and it is raised to the exponent 2 in both terms.Base: 2Exponent: 2 for both terms
Apply Multiplication Rule: Apply the rule for multiplying powers with the same base.When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.So, 22×22 becomes 22+2.
Perform Exponent Addition: Perform the addition of the exponents. 2(2+2) simplifies to 24.
Calculate Final Value: Calculate the value of 2 raised to the 4th power.24 equals 2×2×2×2 which is 16.
