((2^(4-1))^2)/2^(3-2)
Where am I going wrong...
((2^(4-1))^2) = 2^(3*2) = 2^6/2^1 = 2^5
Sorry here are the answer choices
A 2^8
B 2^7
C 2^6
D 2^9
E 2^5
----------------------------------
Nr -- 2^(4-1)^2 = 2^3^2 --> its 2 raised to power 3 and 3 is raised to power 2 --> 2^9
and u have rightly solved the Dr
--> 2^9/2^1 = 2^8 == answer
