Question

Reduce the following equation:

$2^a\times2^2=$

00:00 Simplify the following problem

00:03 According to the laws of exponents, the multiplication of exponents with equal bases (A)

00:06 equals the same base raised to the sum of the exponents (N+M)

00:10 We will apply this formula to our exercise

00:13 We'll maintain the base and add the exponents together

00:16 This is the solution

$2^{a+2}$
