Question

Simplify the expression below. 2^3 x 2^2

Answer 1

Answer:

$32$ $or~2^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

→ $(2^3)(2^2)$

$=2^3*2^2$

$=(2*2*2)*(2*2)$

$=2*2*2*2*2$

$=32$

You can also put this in another way:

$2^5=2^3*2^2=2^3^+^2=2^5$

Answer 2

$2^{3}\cdot 2^{2}=2^{3+2}=2^{5}\\\\because\\\\a^{x}\cdot a^{y}=a^{x+y}$
