Question

2 to the power of 46 is how many times as many as 2 to the power of 42

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

Answer 2

2⁴⁶ is 2⁻⁴ times as many as 2⁴²

Explanation:

Given;

2 to the power of 46 = 2⁴⁶

2 to the power of 42 = 2⁴²

Let the number of times = y

2⁴⁶y = 2⁴²

divide both side of the equation by 2⁴⁶

`(2^(46)y)/(2^(46)) = (2^(42))/(2^(46)) \\\\y = 2^(42-46)\\\\y = 2^(-4)`

Therefore, 2 to the power of 46 is 2 to the power -4 times as many as 2 to the power of 42. (i.e 2⁴⁶ is 2⁻⁴ times as many as 2⁴²)
