Question

Use the numbers 8,6, and 2 and one operation to write an expression that includes an exponent and has a value of 8. Use each number only once

Answer 1

$6 + 2^1 = 8$ is the expression that includes an exponent and has a value of 8

Solution:

Given that, we have to use numbers 8, 6, and 2 and one operation to write an expression that includes an exponent and has a value of 8

We are asked to use each number only once

Given conditions:

We have to use an operation and an exponent

The exponent corresponds to the number of times the base is used as a factor.

We have to get 8 as result

Since 6 is higher number, we can use exponent for 2

We can raise 2 to power of 1

The required expression:

$6 + 2^1 = 8$

Here we have the satisfied the given condition of using exponent and an operation ( addition is used ) and numbers are used only once
