2^3 over 2^3 what is the value of this expression?
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
pls help me reiny damon steve
2^3/2^3 = (2*2*2)/(2*2*2)
They cancel each other out, which gives you 1.
To find the value of the expression 2^3 over 2^3, we can simplify it by following the rules of exponents.
First, let's recall that when we have the same base raised to different exponents and they are divided, the exponents will subtract from each other. In other words, a^m / a^n = a^(m - n).
Using this rule, we can simplify the expression as follows:
2^3 / 2^3 = 2^(3 - 3) = 2^0
Now, another rule of exponents states that any number (except zero) raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, 2^0 = 1.
Hence, the value of the expression 2^3 / 2^3 is 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is b) 1.
