Answer 1

I think it is B

Answer 2

expression 1 and expression 2 look identical

is that a typo?

Answer 3

yes hold on

Answer 4

Answer 6

ok thank you, one sec

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

is that second 3 an exponent?

Answer 9

in the first expression

Answer 10

1.(3x2)3x2 2.(3x2)2(x2)

Answer 11

ok so the first expression is

\[\large (3x^2)^3 x^2\]

right?

Answer 12

I just want to be sure

Answer 13

yes but 3x then 2 up top

Answer 14

wait, so you mean 3x is the exponent? or am I misreading you?

Answer 15

its 3x then the 2 on the top

Answer 16

it will probably be best if you drew them out, sorry for being such a pain

Answer 17

I'm assuming the first expression is
