2 to the power of 15 equals 32,768.
To explain this further, raising a number to a power means multiplying that number by itself a certain number of times. In this case, you multiply 2 by itself 15 times:
2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32,768.
This can also be viewed in a binary context, where 2 to the power of 15 represents the total number of distinct values that can be represented with 15 bits in computer science. It demonstrates the exponential growth of numbers when using powers, illustrating how quickly values can increase.
