To find the value of [tex]\(32^4\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Start with the base number, which is 32.
2. Raise this number to the power of 4. This means you need to multiply 32 by itself four times.
Performing the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 32 \times 32 \times 32 \times 32 \][/tex]
When you carry out this multiplication, the result is [tex]\(1,048,576\)[/tex].
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. [tex]\(1,048,576\)[/tex]
