The answer is 4. First multiply the exponents; 4*1/2, which is equal to 2. That leads to 2^2, hence the answer is 4.

In case of multiple powers like the given expression, all the powers can be multiplied first and then apply the resultant power to the given base.

(2^4)^1/2 = 2 ^ ( 4 * (1/2) ) = 2^2 = 4

The answer is 4. Since we need to solve bracket first-

2^4=16

16^1/2= 4 (Root over of 16)
