Question
A decimal approximation for $\pi$ is $3.141593 .$ Use a calculator to find $2^{3} \cdot 2^{31}, 2^{3 \cdot 14} \cdot 2^{3,141}, 2^{3,1415}, 2^{3,14159},$ and $2^{3,141599},$ Nowfind $2^{*}$. What do you observe?
Step 1
- First, calculate \(2^3\), which is \(8\). - Next, calculate \(2^{31}\). This is a large number, but we can use a calculator to find that \(2^{31} = 2147483648\). - Multiply the two results: \(8 \cdot 2147483648 = 17179869184\). Show more…
