Exercise 1 Page 70

Raising a number to the sixth power is the same as multiplying the number by itself six times.

C

Practice makes perfect

2^{6},

or

2

to the sixth power, is the same as multiplying

2

by itself six times.

2^{6}

Rewrite $2^{6}$ as $2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2$

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Multiply

64

Our solution corresponds to choice C. To check our answer, we can use a calculator. We can either enter

2^{6}

or

2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 .

Both expressions give us the same answer.
