Question

I need to know the answer rn

Answer 1

Option C is your answer.

Add (- 3) + 2 to get - 1 for the exponents. 2^ (-1) is the same as 1 / 2^1 which is 1/2. 

Answer 2

A. 1/32


Explanation:


There can't be negative exponents in the numerator, so we bring down the top 2 and take away the negative on the 3.

The equation is now:
$\frac{1}{2^{2} 2^{3} }$

To multiply exponents with the same base, leave the base alone and add the exponents.

$\frac{1}{ 2^{5}}$

Solve 2^5.

$\frac{1}{32}$
