Certainly! Let's solve the problem step-by-step:
We need to write the exponential expression [tex]\(2^4\)[/tex] in multiplication form. The exponential notation [tex]\(2^4\)[/tex] means that we need to multiply the base [tex]\(2\)[/tex] by itself [tex]\(4\)[/tex] times.
To do this:
1. Start with the base number, which is [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
2. Multiply [tex]\(2\)[/tex] by itself.
3. Continue multiplying [tex]\(2\)[/tex] by itself until you have done this a total of [tex]\(4\)[/tex] times.
Thus, the multiplication form of [tex]\(2^4\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \][/tex]
So, the correct option is:
[tex]\[ 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \][/tex]
