Question

Write 2^40 as an exponent with a base of: a 2^2; b 2^5; c 2^8; 2^10

Answer 1

Explanation:

Substitute the value of the variable into the expression and simplify.

Exact Form: a = 6, 2 3

Decimal Form: a = 6 , 0. ¯ 6

Answer 2

The expression
`2^(40)` can be written as an exponent with a given bases as

`2^(2*20)`

`2^(5*8)`

`2^(8*5)`

`2^(10*4)`

What is exponent?

The process of expressing big numbers in terms of powers is known as an exponent. Accordingly, the exponent describes the number of times a number multiplied by itself.

Given that;

`2^(40)` to be written in different exponents

a) 2²

`2^(2*20)`

`2^(40)`

b)
`2^(5)`

`2^(5*8)`

`2^(40)`

c.
`2^(8)`

`2^(8*5)`

`2^(40)`

c.
`2^(10)`

`2^(10*4)`

`2^(40)`
