Let’s solve each problem step by step. Remember: exponents (like 2³) mean multiplying the base by itself that many times. Also, any number to the power of 0 is 1.

Left Column:
1.
2³ - 4
2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
8 - 4 =
4
2.
1 + 2¹
2¹ = 2
1 + 2 =
3
3.
4 - 2²
2² = 4
4 - 4 =
0
4.
8 + 4²
4² = 16
8 + 16 =
24
5.
1² - 6
1² = 1
1 - 6 =
-5
6.
7 + 4³
4³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64
7 + 64 =
71
7.
8⁰ + 2
8⁰ = 1 (any non-zero number to the 0 power is 1)
1 + 2 =
3
8.
2 - 6¹
6¹ = 6
2 - 6 =
-4

Right Column:
9.
1 - 8¹
8¹ = 8
1 - 8 =
-7
10.
4⁰ + 2
4⁰ = 1
1 + 2 =
3
11.
1⁰ - 3
1⁰ = 1
1 - 3 =
-2
12.
3³ + 6
3³ = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27
27 + 6 =
33
13.
8³ - 9
8³ = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512
512 - 9 =
503
14.
8 + 2²
2² = 4
8 + 4 =
12
15.
2 - 9²
9² = 81
2 - 81 =
-79
16.
5³ + 1
5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
125 + 1 =
126

Final Answer:
4, 3, 0, 24, -5, 71, 3, -4, -7, 3, -2, 33, 503, 12, -79, 126
