Question

Which of the following correctly uses exponents to write "6 factors of 2"? A.62 B.26 C.6 ∙ 2 D.12

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 6 factors of 2 means, 2 multiplied by itself 6 times.  It can be written in the form of exponents as 2⁶.

2. $2^m{\cdot} 2^n$

The law of exponent is : $x^a{\cdot} x^b=x^{a+b}$

So,

$2^m{\cdot} 2^n=2^{m+n}$

The correct option is (A).

3. If the power of any number is 0, then the value of that number is equal to 1.

So,

$23^0=1$

Hence, this is the required solution.
