Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Find the product. Write your answer in
exponential form.
2^6•2^-5

Answer 1

2^1

According to the product of powers with the same base, a^m * a^n = a^m+n.

Basically, when you're multiplying exponents with the same base, you can add the powers together to get the answer.

2^6 * 2^-5

The bases are the same, so we can apply this rule.

6 + -5 = 1

This gives you the answer of 2^1.
