Which reason best explains why a^4b^2 is NOT equal to (ab)^6 ?

A) There is no reason, because a^4b^2 is equal to (ab)^6.

B) 4⋅2 is equal to 8 so the exponent should be 8

C) The bases are not the same, so this law of exponents does not apply.

D) 4−2 is equal to 2, so the exponent should be 2

Figured it out the answer was C

The boiling point of water at an elevation of 0 feet is 212 degrees fahrenheit (°f). for every 1,000 feet of increase in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases by about 2°f. which of the following represents this relationship if b is the boiling point of water at an elevation of e thousand feet? a) e = 2b - 212 b) b = 2e - 212 c) e = -2b + 212 d) b = -2e + 212
