Question: (3 Ø 1) Ø 3 = ?
Always start with the innermost bracket. Forget the rest of the expression while you evaluate it.
(3 Ø 1) = ?
Given x Ø w = (2^x)/(2^w)
Here, x = 3 and w = 1
So (3 Ø 1) = (2^3)/(2^1) = (2^2) = 4
So we got the value of (3 Ø 1) = 4. Let us substitute it and move ahead.
(3 Ø 1) Ø 3 = 4 Ø 3
Now, x = 4 and w = 3
So So (4 Ø 3) =(2^4)/(2^3) = (2^1) = 2
