Because the base is the same in both factors, the exponents can be combined according to the power rules
| \displaystyle 2^{9}\cdot 2^{-7} = 2^{9-7} = 2^{2} = 4\,. |
Alternatively, the expressions for the powers can be expanded completely and then cancelled out,
| \displaystyle \begin{align}
2^{9-7} &= 2\cdot 2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot \frac{1}{{}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2\cdot {}\rlap{/}2}\\[5pt] &= 2\cdot 2 = 4\,\textrm{.}\end{align} |
