A computer's memory doubles each year. This year it stores 2^10 units of data. Using exponent laws, how many units will it store after 3 more years? Express as a single power of 2.

Question

Accepted Answer

2^13. Doubling each year multiplies by 2 each time: after 3 years it is 2^10 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2^10 x 2^3 = 2^13.
