For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:
[tex]16 ^ 3[/tex]
We can rewrite 16 as [tex]2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 ^ 4[/tex]
Rewriting the expression we have:
[tex](2 ^ 4) ^ 3 =[/tex]
By definition of power properties we have to:
[tex](a ^ n) ^ m = a ^ {n * m}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](2 ^ 4) ^ 3 = 2 ^ {12}[/tex]
Answer:
Option C
