simplify this expression\[2^{2}*2^{3}\] ------- \[2^{4}\]

@ganeshie8 @Hayleymeyer @undeadknight26 @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

when we multiply same bases we should `add` their exponents \[\huge\rm x^m \times x^n=x^{m +n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know but its over the 2^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do will that simplify it i need it to be one number with one exponent

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so when we divide same bases we should `subtract` their exponents \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2^5 over 2^4

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes now subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1^1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or no

Nnesha (nnesha):

base would stay the same just subtract the exponents yes so when we divide same bases we should `subtract` their exponents \[\huge\rm \frac{ x^m }{ x^n }=x^{m-n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 2^1

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right which is same as 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks ill give you a medal

Nnesha (nnesha):

my pleasure & hahaha thanks
