Question

which expression is equal to the expression below ? (6 *9) 5
a. 15 to the 5th
b. 5* (6*9)
c. 6 to the 5th + 9 to the 5th
d. 6 to the 5th times 9 to the 5th ?

Answer 1

We have
\[(6\times 9) 5\]
The associative property of multiplication states that when multiplying three or more real numbers, the product is always the same regardless of their grouping. That is,
\[(a × b) × c = a × (b × c)\]
so
\[(6\times 9) 5=6( 9 \times 5)\]

Answer 2

i think "to the 5th" means power 5 not times 5 !!

Answer 3

Sorry I made an error
\[(6\times 9) 5=>>>5( 6\times 9)
\]

Answer 4

@blanca is it \(\huge (6\times 9)^5\)
?

Answer 5

(6 *9)^5 = (6^5)(9^5)
