Question

Negative exponent: 2^-4 + 2^-6/(2^-3) = 5/8?

Answer 1

\[\frac{1}{2^4}+\frac{1}{\frac{2^6}{2^3}}=\frac{5}{8}?\]

Answer 2

I have the method as to how to answer this question but I'm confused:

\[2^{-4}+2^{-6}\div2^{-3} = 1/2^{4}+1/2^{6} \]
\[= 2^{2}+1/2^{6}/1/2^{3}\]
\[= 2^{2}+1/2^{6}\times(2^{3}/1)\]

Answer 3

why it suddenly went from 1/2^4 + 1/2^6 to 2^2 + 1/2^6... o.o

Answer 4

Its the same

Answer 5

but i don't get it.. how it's like that..

Answer 6

2^-4 + 2^-6/(2^-3) = 5/8
2^-4 + 2^-3 = 5/8

Answer 7

You sure your question is correct?

Answer 8

yes and ohh i get it, thank you!
