Basic Math Examples

$8^{p} \cdot 4$

Step 1

Rewrite $8$ as $2^{3}$ .

${(2^{3})}^{p} \cdot 4$

Step 2

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$2^{3 p} \cdot 4$

Step 3

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$2^{3 p} \cdot 2^{2}$

Step 4

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$2^{3 p + 2}$
