Question

Describe how (2 cubed) (2 superscript negative 4) can be simplified. Multiply the bases and add the exponents. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent. Keep the same base and add the exponents. Then multiply by –1. Keep the base and multiply the exponents. Then multiply by –1. Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

Answer 1

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.

What is an exponent?

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.

$2^3* 2^{-4} = 2^{-1}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = 0.5$

The value is 0.5.
