If the expression (2^3)^2 was simplified using the Power Rule of Exponents, which of the following would be an expanded equivalent expression? (1 point)

A.

B.

C.

D.

1 answer

The Power Rule of Exponents states that when raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In this case, the base is 2, and the first exponent is 3. Therefore, (2^3)^2 would become 2^(3*2), which is equal to 2^6.

None of the options A, B, C, or D were provided, so the correct answer cannot be determined without additional information.
