Question: 1 / 400

What is the value of 2^3 + 3^2?

15

17

To find the value of \(2^3 + 3^2\), we need to evaluate each component separately.

First, \(2^3\) means \(2\) multiplied by itself \(3\) times:

\[

2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8

\]

Next, \(3^2\) means \(3\) multiplied by itself \(2\) times:

\[

3^2 = 3 \times 3 = 9

\]

Now we add the results of \(2^3\) and \(3^2\):

\[

8 + 9 = 17

\]

Thus, the value of \(2^3 + 3^2\) is \(17\). This corresponds to the second choice. Understanding these basic exponentials and performing the addition correctly leads us to the right result.
