Step-by-step solution

To simplify the expression 21×22×232^1 \times 2^2 \times 2^3, we'll apply the rule for multiplying powers with the same base:

  • When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents.

Let's apply this to our expression:

21×22×23=21+2+32^1 \times 2^2 \times 2^3 = 2^{1+2+3}

Now, calculate the sum of the exponents: 1+2+3=61 + 2 + 3 = 6.

Thus, the expression simplifies to

262^6.

By comparing it with the given choices, the correct simplified form, 21+2+32^{1+2+3}, corresponds to choice 2:
21+2+32^{1+2+3}.
