MEDAL AND FAN

OpenStudy (photon336):

so think about this

OpenStudy (photon336):

we know that as positive exponents increase they get bigger right? \[2^{2}, 2^{3}\]

OpenStudy (winsteria):

yes

OpenStudy (photon336):

now the opposite is true for negative exponents

OpenStudy (photon336):

as their powers increase their values get smaller.

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

The values are decreasing

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

By how many ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[2^{1} > 2^{0} >2^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

@winsteria solve this \[(\frac{ 1 }{ 32 })x = (\frac{ 1 }{ 16 })\]

OpenStudy (winsteria):

2

OpenStudy (photon336):

if you notice, each value is increasing by a factor of 2 so that's what's happening you're multiplying values by 2

OpenStudy (photon336):

yes..
