Question

Just wanted to make sure im doing this right :) 2^5 x 2^6 simplify and evaluate - what do ya'll get?

Answer 1

2^11= 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2=2048

Answer 2

First evaluate 2^5. To do this, you have to multiply 2 five times.

Expression:
2*2*2*2*2

Answer 3

do you not add the powers together to get 2^11 and then evaluate from there?

Answer 5

2^11=2048

Answer 6

@ndeths No you don't that way. You have to do things seperatly.

Answer 7

if multiplied together you add the powers

Answer 8

See the difference yourself. Do 2^5 and then do 2^6. Add the two products up. And see it.

Answer 9

@calculusxy we are not adding we are multiplying the 2 terms

Answer 10

the final answer is 2^5*2^6=2^11=2048

Answer 11

Sorry about that

Answer 12

Yes you are right.

Answer 13

@coolaserman that's what I got! :)

Answer 14

To clarify, you can do it either way.
Join them by adding the exponents:
\(\large 2^5*2^6 = 2^{11} = 2048\)
Or do the exponents separately:
\(\large 2^5*2^6 = 32*64 =2048

They are equivalent.

Answer 15

\(\large 2^5*2^6 = 32*64 =2048\)
Forgot to close my tags on the second line -_-
