If (0.5 + a) ^ 2 and | B-2 | are opposite, then a ^ B =? In the process of culture, a certain bacterium splits every half an hour (from one to two). If the bacterium splits from one to 16, how many hours will it take?

1. They are opposite to each other, but one is square and the other is absolute value
So both are zero
So a = - 0.5, B = 2
a^b=0.25
2. It will take two hours
