Options
A
$$\frac {{2}^{3}} {{2}^{2}}$$
B
C
D

Answer & Analysis
Answer
C
Analysis
To determine which of the given options is equivalent to $${2}^{\frac {3} {2}}$$ (2 raised to the power of 3/2), we need to simplify the expression $${2}^{\frac {3} {2}}$$.
The fractional exponent rule states that for any positive real number a and any rational number m/n (where m and n are integers and n is not equal to 0), is equal to the nth root of am.
In this case, a=2, m=3, n=2.
$${2}^{\frac {3} {2}}$$ is equal to square root of 23
Calculating the square root of 23 gives us
