You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(8 \cdot {1.5}^{16}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[8 \cdot {1.5}^{16} = \frac{43046721}{8192} = 5254.7266845703125\]
\[\begin{aligned}8 \cdot {1.5}^{16}& = 8 \cdot \left(1 + \frac{5}{10}\right)^{16}\\& = 8 \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{2}\right)^{16}\\& = 8 \cdot \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{16}\\& = 8 \cdot \frac{43046721}{65536}\\& = \frac{43046721}{8192}\end{aligned}\]
