Question

2^3/2^-2

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2^3 }{ 2^{-2} }\]

Answer 2

Wouldn't it be 8/.25

Answer 3

Do you know these exponent properties? \[ \huge a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^b} \\ \huge \frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n-m}\]

Answer 4

So you can do this: \[\Large \frac{2^3}{2^{-2}} = \frac{2^3}{\frac{1}{2^2}} = 2^3 2^2 = 2^{3 + 2} = 2^5\]\[\Huge\text{OR}\]\[\Large \frac{2^3}{2^{-2}} = 2^{3 - (-2)} = 2^{3 + 2} = 2^5\]
