Answer 1

Let's calculate each exponent form and match it with the correct standard form:

1. 2(4): This is \(2^4 = 16\).

2. −8(2): This is \(-8^2 = -64\).

3. 2(−3): This is \(2^{-3} = \frac{1}{2^3} = \frac{1}{8}\).

4. (−4)(2): This is \((-4)^2 = 16\).

5. 2(3) ⋅ 3(2): This is \(2^3 \cdot 3^2 = 8 \cdot 9 = 72\).

6. (4/5)(2): This is \((\frac{4}{5})^2 = \frac{16}{25}\).

7. (2/3)(3): This is \((\frac{2}{3})^3 = \frac{8}{27}\).

Now, matching them:

• 16: from \(2(4)\) or \((-4)(2)\)
• -64: from \(-8(2)\)
• 1/8: from \(2(−3)\)
• 72: from \(2(3) \cdot 3(2)\)
• 16/25: from \((4/5)(2)\)
• 8/27: from \((2/3)(3)\)

Here’s the summary of the matches:

• \(2(4) \rightarrow 16\)
• \(-8(2) \rightarrow -64\)
• \(2(−3) \rightarrow \frac{1}{8}\)
• \((−4)(2) \rightarrow 16\)
• \(2(3) \cdot 3(2) \rightarrow 72\)
• \((4/5)(2) \rightarrow \frac{16}{25}\)
• \((2/3)(3) \rightarrow \frac{8}{27}\)
