Question

What is 2^3 * 2^2
You don't have to show work

Answer 1

assuming that the ^3 and ^2 are exponents,

Remember G.E.M.S.? (grouping > EXPONENT! > Multiplication/division > Subtraction/addition) 2*2*2=8*(2*2) = 8*4= 32

Answer 2

2 ^3 = 2 x 2 x 2
2 ^2 = 2 x 2

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2^5

2^5 = 32

hope this helps
