Simplify, please i need help

Which expression is equivalent to 16 in exponential form? a) 4 × 4 b) 8 × 2 c) 23 d) 24

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.

Can someone me with this? i’m not sure what to put for my equations.
