Terry was asked to evaluate%C2%A0 2^7 . He multiplied 2 times 7 and got the answer 14. Explain why Terry’s answer is incorrect. Then, evaluate%C2%A0 2^7 .(4 points)

Answer 1

Terry's answer is incorrect because he mistakenly multiplied 2 and 7 instead of raising 2 to the power of 7. To evaluate 2^7, we need to multiply 2 by itself 7 times:

2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 128

Therefore, 2^7 equals 128.
