Answer:
Yes, Tim was correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Tim wrote 16 as (-2) squared 4. It means
[tex]16=(-2)^4[/tex]
We need to check whether he is correct option not.
[tex]LHS=16[/tex]
[tex]RHS=(-2)^4[/tex]
[tex]RHS=(-2)\times (-2)\times (-2)\times (-2)[/tex]
[tex]RHS=4\times 4[/tex]
[tex]RHS=16[/tex]
[tex]RHS=LHS[/tex]
Since LHS is equal to the RHS, therefore the Tim was correct.
