What is the result of simplifying the expression 2^(3x) * 2^(2x) / 2^(4x)?
  • Step 1: Identify the expression to simplify: 2^(3x) * 2^(2x) / 2^(4x).
  • Step 2: Use the property of exponents that states a^m * a^n = a^(m+n) to combine the first two terms: 2^(3x) * 2^(2x) becomes 2^(3x + 2x).
  • Step 3: Calculate the sum of the exponents: 3x + 2x = 5x, so now we have 2^(5x) / 2^(4x).
  • Step 4: Use the property of exponents that states a^m / a^n = a^(m-n) to simplify: 2^(5x) / 2^(4x) becomes 2^(5x - 4x).
  • Step 5: Calculate the difference of the exponents: 5x - 4x = x, so we have 2^x.
  • Step 6: The final simplified result is 2^x.
