Using the exponent properties, which of the following expressions is equivalent to (2–√)3⋅2−12 ?(1 point)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( (2^{-\sqrt{3}}) \cdot 2^{-12} \) using exponent properties, you can follow these steps:

  1. Use the property of exponents that states \( a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \) to combine the exponents. In this case, we have:

\[ 2^{-\sqrt{3}} \cdot 2^{-12} = 2^{-\sqrt{3} - 12} \]

  1. Therefore, the expression simplifies to:

\[ 2^{-\sqrt{3} - 12} \]

So, the equivalent expression is \( 2^{-\sqrt{3} - 12} \).
