Answer:
4)Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent
Step-by-step explanation:
The question can be written as
(2³)(2⁻⁴)
Apply laws of indices, Keep the same base and add the exponents
[tex]2^3*2^{-4} \\\\\\2^{3+-4} \\\\\\2^{-1} \\\\[/tex]
This can be expressed as;
[tex]2^{-1} \\\\=\frac{1}{2^1} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} \\\\\\=0.5[/tex]
