Question

How do you use laws of exponents to simplify `2^4 * 2^3 * 2^5`?

Answer 1

I found: `2^12=4096`

Explanation:

Remember that you have:
`y^a*y^b=y^(a+b)`

for example if you have:
`2^2*2^3=2^(2+3)=2^5=32`
in fact:
`2^2=4`
`2^3=8` and
`4*8=32`!!!

So, in your case you have:
`2^(4+3+5)=2^12=4096`
