Q. Select all the expressions that are equivalent to 8242\frac{8^2}{4^2}. \newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 122\frac{1}{2^2}\newline(B) 22\newline(C) 222^2\newline(D) 202^0
  1. Simplify Exponents: Simplify the given expression using the properties of exponents.\newlineThe expression 8242\frac{8^2}{4^2} can be simplified by recognizing that 88 is 232^3 and 44 is 222^2.\newline(23)2(22)2=232222=2624\frac{(2^3)^2}{(2^2)^2} = \frac{2^{3*2}}{2^{2*2}} = \frac{2^6}{2^4}
  2. Apply Quotient Rule: Apply the quotient rule for exponents.\newlineWhen dividing like bases, subtract the exponents.\newline26/24=2(64)=222^6 / 2^4 = 2^{(6-4)} = 2^2
  3. Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the simplified expression. 22=42^2 = 4
  4. Compare with Choices: Compare the result with the given choices.\newlineThe expression 222^2 is equivalent to 44, which matches choice (C) 222^2.
  5. Check Other Equivalences: Check the other choices for equivalence.\newline(A) 122=14\frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4}, which is not equal to 44.\newline(B) 22 is not equal to 44.\newline(D) 20=12^0 = 1, which is not equal to 44.
