2^3 over 2^-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2^{3}\div2^{-3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do you get the 64?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^3=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And 2^-3 = 1/2^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well first you multiply 2 three times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you can do 8*2^3, because dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 2^-3 equals 1/2^3 power,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly like Thewaffleman149 says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. You cube 2. 2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still understanding where the 64 comes in from lol

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

2^3 / 2^-3 = 2^(3-(-3)) = 2 ^ 6

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

2^6 = 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 times 2^3 is 8 x 8 =64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh okay thank you all :) y'all are the best!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem!
