2^4-4
A 12
B 0
C 4
D 2
The answer is B) 0.
When we calculate 2^4, which represents 2 raised to the power of 4, we get 16.
Then we subtract 4, so 16 - 4 = 12.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 0.
To evaluate the expression 2^4 - 4, we need to follow the order of operations rules. First, we calculate the exponentiation, and then perform the subtraction.
Step 1: Calculate the exponentiation.
2^4 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 16.
Step 2: Perform the subtraction.
16 - 4 = 12.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 12.
