Math Problem Statement

x^4 = ___ when x = 2

Solution

The equation in the image is:

x4=    when x=2x^4 = \underline{\ \ \ } \ \text{when} \ x = 2

To solve this, we substitute x=2x = 2 into the equation x4x^4:

24=2×2×2×2=162^4 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 16

Thus, the answer is:

x4=16 when x=2x^4 = 16 \ \text{when} \ x = 2
