Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then reciprocal it and change the sign of the exponent. Then the value of the exponent expression is 0.5.
<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>Exponential notation is the form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter is called the base. It indicates that the base is to raise to a certain power. X is the base and n is the power.
The exponent expression is 2³ × 2⁻⁴ can be simplified.
Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then we have
2³ × 2⁻⁴ = 2⁽³⁻⁴⁾
2³ × 2⁻⁴ = 2⁻¹
Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.
The value is 0.5.
