You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4%5E2+%2A+4%5E5
Remember that n%5Ea+%2A+n%5Eb+=+n%5E%28a%2Bb%29
The reason this works is because we have that
4%5E2+=+4%2A4
4%5E5+=+4%2A4%2A4%2A4%2A4
Multiply it together to see that you would have (2+5) 4s. or 4^(2+5) = 4^7.
4%5E2+%2A+4%5E5+=+4%5E%282%2B5%29+=+highlight%284%5E7%29
Hope this helps!
