Simplify to a single power of 2:

Question

2, cubed, dot, 2
2

⋅2

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 2^3 \cdot 2 \), we can use the properties of exponents.

The property states that when multiplying two powers with the same base, you can add the exponents:

\[ a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \]

In this case, we have:

\[ 2^3 \cdot 2^1 = 2^{3+1} = 2^4 \]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[ 2^4 \]
