8(32)=

Presented with a numerical question: 8(32) =

Option exploration:
- First interpretation: Treat the notation as multiplication, i.e., 8 times 32. In standard arithmetic, 8 × 32 equals 256. This is the most direct reading of 8(32) in many math contexts, where parentheses indicate multiplication.
- Alternative interpretation: If someone reads 8(32) as 8 times a composite expression where 32 represents a different operation or value, the result could change. For example, if the intent were 8 × (3^2), that would be 8 × 9 = 72. However, this would require a nonstandard or mis-typed expression, because 32 would need to be explicitly written as 3^2 or another form, not as 32.
- Ambiguity note: The lack of an operator inside the parentheses (between 3 and 2, or any other symbols) typically implies that 32 is the number twenty-fourteen, thirty-two, or a two-digit constant, and the conventional interpretation remains 8 × 32. Without additional context or alternative parsing instructions, the simplest reading is multiplication.

Evaluation of the provided answer (72):
- This value corresponds to 8 × 9, which would require interpreting the inner content as 9 (for example, 3^2). It does not align with the straightforward interpretation of 8(32) as 8 × 32 unless the problem’s formatting intentionally encodes an exponent or a transformed expression, which is not stated here.
- Therefore, 72 is only correct under an atypical or misinterpreted parsing of the expression, not under the standard interpretation of the given notation.

Conclusion (based on standard interpretation): 8(32) equals 256 when interpreted as 8 × 32. The answer 72 would be correct only if the problem were intended to convey 8 × (3^2) or a similar altered expression, which is not evident from the given question.
