is 2^8*2^-3is equivalent to 64

Answer 1

Yes, 2^8 * 2^-3 is equivalent to 64.

To solve this expression, we use the property of exponents that states when you multiply two numbers with the same base, you add the exponents.
So, 2^8 * 2^-3 becomes 2^(8 + (-3)) = 2^5.

Since 2^5 is equal to 32, not 64, the statement "2^8 * 2^-3 is equivalent to 64" is incorrect.
