Explanation:

Assuming the problem is to evaluate each expression:

Step1: Evaluate \(2^3 - 2^1\)

First, calculate the exponents: \(2^3 = 8\) and \(2^1 = 2\). Then subtract: \(8 - 2 = 6\).

Step2: Evaluate \(3^2\)

Calculate the exponent: \(3^2 = 9\).

Step3: Evaluate \(2^1 + 3^1\)

Calculate the exponents: \(2^1 = 2\) and \(3^1 = 3\). Then add: \(2 + 3 = 5\).

Answer:

• \(2^3 - 2^1 = 6\)
• \(3^2 = 9\)
• \(2^1 + 3^1 = 5\)
