Hi there.
Thanks for submitting your question.
b = 8
Set up equation: 2(8)^2
This is not the proper way to set up the equation.
Real equation: 2 x 8^2
Then, write the equation in exponential form with the base of 2.
2 x 2^6
Calculate the product.
2^7
2^7 = 128
Therefore our answer is 128.
Thanks for using Brainly.
