Question

Write the expression below using exponents.

2 x 2 x 2 x 4 x 4

Answer 1

[ Answer ]

`\boxed{2^(3)  \ * \ 4^(2) }`

[ Explanation ]

Exponent: A number that tells you how many times to multiply a number by itself

2 * 2 * 2 * 4 * 4

You need to multiply 2 by itself 3 times. Therefore, 2 * 2 * 2 turns into:
`2^(3)`

You multiply 4 by itself 2 times. Therefore, 4 * 4 turns into:
`4^(2)`

Now, multiply them by each other:
`2^(3) \ * \ 4^(2)`

Remember, you do not multiply the top number by the bottom number. The top number ONLY tells how many times the bottom numbers needs to be multiplied by itself.

`\boxed{[ \ Eclipsed \ ]}`

Answer 2

(2^3)(4^2)
