Question

were $2^3$ dandelions. how many dandelior? write your answer as an exponential exp day 1: 2 day 2: $2\cdot2 = 2^2 = 4$ day 3: $2\cdot2\cdot2 = 2^3 = 8$ day 4: $2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2 = \square^{\square} = $

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the pattern

From the given days, we see that on Day \( n \), the number of dandelions is \( 2^n \). For Day 1, it's \( 2^1 \), Day 2 is \( 2^2 \), Day 3 is \( 2^3 \).

Step2: Apply the pattern to Day 4

For Day 4, we have 4 factors of 2 multiplied together, so it should be \( 2^4 \). The base is 2 and the exponent is 4.

Answer:

\( 2^4 \) (where the first box is 2 and the second box is 4)
