Question from Kim, a parent: Complete the following: 2 to the power of 4= If the pattern continues, 2 to the power of 0 = Thanks |
Hi Kim,
2 to the power of 4 = 24 = 16
2 to the power of 3 = 23 = 8
2 to the power of 2 = 22 = 4
2 to the power of 1 = 21 = 2
The pattern I see in the numbers 16, 8, 4, 2 is that each number is half the previous number.
