Question

Simplify using the laws of exponents. [2⁴/2³]⁵

Answer 1

To know this answer we need to know how to solve it. Many people skip this part which makes their answer wrong.

It is asking us to simplify it using exponents.

Exponents are these little numbers beside a big number Telling it how much you multiply it by.

EXAMPLES

2^3 is just 2x2x2

2^4 is just 2x2x2x2

Notice the pattern? I hope so!

Now 2 to the power of 4 is 16. Our new equation looks like this

{16/2^3}^5.

Now 2 to the power of 3 is 8.

So, our new equation is

{16/8}^5

In which you get 2^5 which is just 2x2x2x2x2

And you get 32 as the final answer

I hope this helped and if you have questions just tell me!!
