2^8 x 2^-3

Answer 1

To solve this expression, first, you can simplify the exponents separately.

2^8 = 256 (2 raised to the power of 8 equals 256)
2^-3 = 1/2^3 = 1/8 (2 raised to the power of -3 equals 1/8)

Now, you can multiply the two simplified exponents together:

256 x 1/8 = 256/8 = 32

Therefore, 2^8 x 2^-3 equals 32.
