6.1 Property of Exponent - 2

To calculate the exponent 2^3 * 2^8, we can use the following steps:

1. Simplify the exponents. 2^3 = 8 and 2^8 = 256

2. Multiply the simplified exponents. 8 * 256 = 2048

Therefore, 2^3 * 2^8 = 2048.

Here is a Python code that demonstrates how to calculate the exponent 2^3 * 2^8:

To calculate exponent multiplication, we can use the following rules:

• When exponents have the same base, we add the exponents. For example, 2^3 * 2^4 = 2^7

Here are some examples of exponent multiplication:

• 2^3 * 2^4 = 2^7 = 128

• (2^3)^2 = 2^6 = 64
