Rohit claims that 2^3 + 2^3 equals 2^6. Is he right? Find the correct value of 2^3 + 2^3.

Question

Accepted Answer

No; 2^3 + 2^3 = 16, because it is 8 + 8 (addition is not a law of exponents). The exponent laws apply to multiplication/division, not addition. 2^3 = 8, so 2^3 + 2^3 = 8 + 8 = 16. Rohit is wrong.
