Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a = 2 and b = 3, what is the value of a^b + b^a?
  • Step 1: Identify the values of a and b. Here, a = 2 and b = 3.
  • Step 2: Calculate a raised to the power of b, which is 2^3. This means 2 multiplied by itself 3 times: 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.
  • Step 3: Calculate b raised to the power of a, which is 3^2. This means 3 multiplied by itself 2 times: 3 * 3 = 9.
  • Step 4: Add the results from Step 2 and Step 3 together: 8 + 9 = 17.
  • Step 5: The final answer is 17.
