Evaluate \begin{aligned} 256^{0.16} \times (256)^{0.09} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
6^{m-2}\\ = \dfrac{6^m}{6^2}\\ = \dfrac{46656}{6^2}\\ = \dfrac{46656}{36} = 1296
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= (256)^{\frac{5}{4}} = (4^4)^{\frac{5}{4}} = 4^5 = 1024
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= ((8)^\frac{1}{2})^\frac{1}{3} = 8^{(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3})}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (8)^{\frac{1}{6}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (2)^{3(\frac{1}{6})}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= (2)^{\frac{1}{2}}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^n}{a^m} \right)} +
\frac{1}{\left( 1 + \frac{a^m}{a^n} \right)} \\
= \frac{a^m}{(a^m+a^n)} + \frac{a^n}{(a^m+a^n)} \\
= \frac{(a^m+a^n)}{(a^m+a^n)} = 1
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{0.16+0.09} = 256^{0.25} = 256^{\frac{25}{100}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= 256^{\frac{1}{4}}= (4^4)^{\frac{1}{4}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=(4)^{4 \times \frac{1}{4}} = 4
\end{aligned}
