Example Question #42 : Grade 8

Evaluate \dpi{100} \frac{2^{10}}{2^{8}}

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} \frac{8}{5}

\dpi{100} 4

\dpi{100} 200

\dpi{100} 2

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 4

Explanation:

If you divide two exponential expressions with the same base, you can simply subtract the exponents.  Here, both the top and the bottom have a base of 2 raised to a power.

So \dpi{100} \frac{2^{10}}{2^{8}}=2^{10-8}=2^{2}=4

Example Question #3 : Generate Equivalent Numerical Expressions: Ccss.Math.Content.8.Ee.A.1

\dpi{100} 2^{3}\cdot 2^{2}

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 32

\dpi{100} 16

\dpi{100} 2^{6}

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 32

Explanation:

Since the two expressions have the same base, we just add the exponents.

\dpi{100} 2^{3}\cdot 2^{2}=2^{3+2}=2^{5}=32

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Properties Of An Exponent

Evaluate: \dpi{100} (3^{3})^{2}

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 243

\dpi{100} 3^{6}

\dpi{100} 3^{5}

\dpi{100} 729

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 3^{6}

Explanation:

A power raised to a power indicates that you multiply the two powers.

\dpi{100} (3^{3})^{2}=3^{3\cdot 2}=3^{6}
