Question

What is the value of $2^{10}$?

• A. 512
• B. 1024
• C. 2048
• D. 4096

Hint:

For powers of 2, compute step-by-step or use known values like $2^{10} = 1024$.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Compute $2^{10}$.
- Step 2: $2^5 = 32$, $2^{10} = (2^5)^2 = 32^2 = 1024$.
- Step 3: Alternatively: $2^1 = 2, 2^2 = 4, 2^3 = 8, 2^4 = 16, 2^5 = 32, 2^6 = 64, 2^7 = 128, 2^8 = 256, 2^9 = 512, 2^{10} = 1024$.
- Step 4: Check options: Option (2) is 1024, correct.
