Question
Evaluate the two expressions and compare the answers. Do the expressions have the same value? (See Example 2.)$$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3} \text { and } \frac{1}{2^{3}}$$
Step 1
This means we multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ by itself three times. So, we have $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$. Show more…
