Question

What is the simplified expression for 2 power 2 multiplied by 2 power 3 over 2 power 4?

A.20 B.21 C.22 D.23

Answer 1

so whats the answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

`2^(2) * (2^(3))/(2^(4))`

When dividing exponents with the same base, you can simply subtract the exponents from each other. So
`(2^(3))/(2^(4))` can be simplified to
`2^(3-4)` .

When multiplying exponents with the same base, do the opposite - add the exponents. Then, figure out what 2 to that power is, which shouldn't be too difficult considering how low the exponents are.
