4 to the 4th power equals 256. Explain how to use that fact to more quickly evaluate 4 to the 5th power.

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

So, we know that 4 to the 4th power equals 256.

4 to the 4th power = 4 x 4 x 4 x 4.

So we can add another 4 to the equation to quickly get out answer for 4 to the 5th power.

4 to the 5th power = 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 1024.

Or you could break the equation into parts.

For example, there are FOUR 4s in the equation.

4 x 4 = 16.

4 x 4 = 16.

16 x 16 = 256.

Now since we've added ANOTHER 4, it should look like this:

16 x 16 = 256.

256 x 4 = 1024.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
