Can you simplify 2 to the third power times 2 to the fifth power? Explain how you did this please!?

Answer 1

Since the bases (2) are the same, you can add the exponents. This calculates to 2 to the 8th power, which equals 256.

Answer 2

2 to the third power = 2^3 = 2x2x2
2 to the fifth power = 2^5 = 2x2x2x2x2
so:
2^3 x 2^5 = 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 2^8 = 256

Answer 3

you mean 2^3 x 2^5

when you multiply two numbers to the power of something, its the same as multiplying that number to the power of the sum of the powers so

2^3 x 2^5 is 2^8 just add the powers when multiplying

Answer 4

When you're multiplying two numbers together of the same base, remember this rule: (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c). So here we have:
(2^3)(2^5) = 2^(3+5) = 2^8 = 256.

Answer 5

it would be 2 to the eight power. when multiplying exponents with the same base you just add the exponents
