(4/\sqrt{2})^2 = [(2^2)/\sqrt{2}]^2 = 2^[(2*2)-(0.5*2)] = 2^3 = 8

IMO B

Or, \(4^2*\sqrt{2}^2\)

Or, \(16*2=32\), Answer must be (D)

IMO B



Don't understand how I read this question wrong. Apologies.

Its (4*sqrt(s))^2, so its 4^2 * (sqrt(2))^2 = 16*2 = 32.

So, asnwer is D.

2 + 1/2 = 5/2 not 3/2
So it will be 2^5 = 32
