Test 4 question 16
Question states to simplify this:
2^15/ (8^3+4^3)
I simplified down to this point, which goes along the answer, but the book takes a different method after this.
2^15/(2^9+2^6)= 1 ( That's what I thought the answer would be. I added the two exponents because the bases were the same)
Book said:
2^15/2^6(2^3+1)=2^9/9
Am I just missing something? Please let me know what you guys think.
