your school is conducting a poll that has two parts,one part that has 13 questions and a second part that has 10 questions. Students can answer the questions ineither part with 'agree' or 'disagree'. What power of two represents the number of ways there are to answer the questions in the first part of the poll?
To determine the number of ways there are to answer the questions in the first part of the poll, we need to find the number of possible outcomes for each question and then multiply them together.
In this case, each question can be answered either 'agree' or 'disagree'. Since there are 13 questions in the first part, there are 2 choices for each question. Therefore, the number of ways to answer the questions in the first part can be found by calculating 2 raised to the power of 13.
To compute 2 raised to the power of 13, you can use a calculator or perform the multiplication manually. If you perform the multiplication manually, you would multiply 2 by itself 13 times.
Mathematically:
2^13 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 8,192
Therefore, the number of ways to answer the questions in the first part is 8,192.
