Question

I need to know the answer rn

Answer 1

A. 1/32


Step-by-step explanation:


There can't be negative exponents in the numerator, so we bring down the top 2 and take away the negative on the 3.

The equation is now:

`(1)/(2^(2) 2^(3) )`

To multiply exponents with the same base, leave the base alone and add the exponents.


`(1)/( 2^(5))`

Solve 2^5.


`(1)/(32)`

Answer 2

Option C is your answer.

Add (- 3) + 2 to get - 1 for the exponents. 2^ (-1) is the same as 1 / 2^1 which is 1/2.
