You want to use PEMDAS to solve this problem.
So we do the parentheses first (4-2) = 2
Then you would do the exponent next
2 to the 5th power is 32
2 to the 3rd power is 8
(2) to the 4th power is 16
32 / 8 • 16
Then we want to do Multiplication and division from what ever comes first so in this case 32/8, which will equal 4 then we multiple 4 with 16 making the answer 64
Using a graph tool
see the attached figure
<span>let's graph all the cases to verify the answer
case A) f(x)=(3</span><span>^x)-2
case B) </span>f(x)=(4^x)-2
case C) f(x)=4^(x-2)
case D) f(x)=4^(x-2) +2------> this is the solution
the answer is the option D
Yes.
When you divide the top and bottom of 2/8 by 2 you will get 1/4 which is the same as 1/4.
