Diego was trying to write 2^3 · 2^2 with a single exponent and wrote 2^3·2^2 = 2^3*2 = 2^6 . Explain to Diego what his mistake was and what the answer should be.

2^3·2^2 = 2^3+2 = 2^5  

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego was trying to write 2^3 · 2^2

He wrote  2^3·2^2 = 2^3*2 = 2^6  

But this is wrong because when bases are same exponents are added.

This is the law of exponents.

The correct form would be

2^3·2^2 = 2^3+2 = 2^5  

For understanding it better we can write it like this

2^3·2^2 =

There are 3 two and 2 twos .When totaled there are 5 two not 6 twos.

i think is 3 and 6. this took me 10 min to think.hope to and hope that my answer is brainliest.(follow me )
