erry was asked to evaluate 2^7 . He multiplied 2 times 7 and got the answer 14. Explain why Terry’s answer is incorrect. Then, evaluate 2^7 .
Terry's answer is incorrect because he simply multiplied 2 by 7, instead of elevating 2 to the 7th power.
To evaluate 2^7, we need to multiply 2 by itself 7 times.
2^7 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 128
Therefore, 2^7 is equal to 128.
