Question

What is twice 2 to the 30 power ? Write using exponents. Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find out twice 2 to the 30 power.

Let us write this 2 to the 30 power as

$2^{30}$

Twice this value would be 2 multiplied by this

=$2(2^{30})\\2^{31}$

Hence answer is $2^{31}$

Answer 2

2 times 2^30 simple means that = (2^1) x (2^30)

In multiplying numbers of the same base (in this case 2), the exponents are just added, therefore giving us:

(2^1) x (2^30) = (2^31)

 

Answer:

2 to the 31 power
