Math Problem Statement

What is the value of the expression 2^3 · 3^2 · 4^2?

Solution

The expression in the image shows:

2332422^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 4^2

Let's simplify it step by step:

  1. 23=2×2×2=82^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8
  2. 32=3×3=93^2 = 3 \times 3 = 9
  3. 42=4×4=164^2 = 4 \times 4 = 16

Now, multiply these together:

89=728 \cdot 9 = 72 7216=115272 \cdot 16 = 1152

So, the simplified value of 2332422^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 4^2 is 1152.
