Answer:
No, 2^7 is not the same thing as 2 x 7
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are doing 2 x 7 you multiply 7 by 2. For 2^7, you multiply 2 by 2 7 times.
2 x 7 = 2 x 7
2^7 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
Answer: No
Explanation: In the first problem, 2 is a base and 7 is an exponent.
The 7 that is raised up means we multiply our base together seven times.
This means the same thing as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 or 128.
On the other hand, 2 × 7 is 14.
It can also be thought of as 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 or 14.
