Question

Work out the value of (2^3)^2​

Answer 1

(2^3)^2 = 64

Explanation:

(2^3)^2 is telling us to square 2^3. Lets find 2^3 as the first step:

2^3 = 8

Now square that: 8^2 = 64

So (2^3)^2 = 64

Another approach is to simplify (2^3)^2 to 2^6. An exponent raised by another exponent is equal to the product of the two exponents. 2^6 is also = to 64.
