To match the equivalent expressions, we can simplify each expression and determine if they are equal.
-
a. 2^−2 × 2^−3
- This simplifies to \( 2^{-2 - 3} = 2^{-5} \).
-
b. 2^2 / 2^3
- This simplifies to \( 2^{2 - 3} = 2^{-1} \).
-
c. (2^2)^3
- This simplifies to \( 2^{2 \times 3} = 2^6 \).
-
d. 2^8 × 2^−3
- This simplifies to \( 2^{8 - 3} = 2^{5} \).
-
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
