I Need Help On This Question Im Confused I Think A Ampb Are The Same And C Ampd Are Different But Im Not To Sure class=

Sagot :

Answer:  They're all the same

====================================================

Reason:

[tex]2^6[/tex] means we have 6 copies of "2" multiplied out as shown in choice B. That explains how A and B are the same, and we can say

[tex]2^6 = (2*2*2)*(2*2*2)[/tex]

The parenthesis are optional, but I find they're handy to count the '2's easier.

----------------

Now notice that

[tex]2^3 = 2*2*2[/tex]

So,

[tex]2^6 = (2*2*2)*(2*2*2)\\\\2^6 = (2^3)*(2^3)\\\\2^6 = (2^3)^2\\\\[/tex]

The last step is possible because we have two copies of [tex]2^3[/tex] multiplied together.

This shows that choice C is equivalent to A and B.

-------------------

Lastly,

[tex]2^6 = (2*2*2)*(2*2*2)\\\\2^6 = (2*2)*(2*2)*(2*2)\\\\2^6 = (2^2)*(2^2)*(2^2)\\\\2^6 = (2^2)^3\\\\[/tex]

The jump to the last step is possible because we have three copies of [tex]2^2[/tex] multiplied together.

This shows choice D is equivalent to the others.

All four expressions are the same.

They represent different ways to say the same number. That number being 64.
