To match the equivalent expressions, we can simplify each expression and determine if they are equal.

  1. a. 2^−2 × 2^−3

    • This simplifies to \( 2^{-2 - 3} = 2^{-5} \).
  2. b. 2^2 / 2^3

    • This simplifies to \( 2^{2 - 3} = 2^{-1} \).
  3. c. (2^2)^3

    • This simplifies to \( 2^{2 \times 3} = 2^6 \).
  4. d. 2^8 × 2^−3

    • This simplifies to \( 2^{8 - 3} = 2^{5} \).
  5. e. 2^3 / 2^2

    • This simplifies to \( 2^{3 - 2} = 2^{1} \).

So we can summarize the results as follows:

  • a. = \( 2^{-5} \)
  • b. = \( 2^{-1} \)
  • c. = \( 2^{6} \)
  • d. = \( 2^{5} \)
  • e. = \( 2^{1} \)

Now, we can match equivalent expressions:

  • a. 2^−2 × 2^−3 → matches 2^{-5}
  • d. 2^8 × 2^−3 → matches 2^5
  • c. (2^2)^3 → matches 2^6
  • b. 2^2 / 2^3 → matches 2^{-1}
  • e. 2^3 / 2^2 → matches 2^1

Putting it all together for matching:

  • a matches d
  • No matches for b
  • c has no match
  • e has no match

Please arrange them correctly:

  • a with d
  • b is unique
  • c is unique
  • e is unique
