$$3x^2\times 3x^2=9x^4$$ wheras 
$$(3^2)^2\times x^2=9x^4\times x^2=9x^6$$

anonymous · Answer

So its B im sorry i second guess myself

anonymous · Answer

i would go with B. The exponents on Expression #2 are greater than the exponents of Expression #1.
yes

anonymous · Answer

can i ask u a question i got the answer too but im not to sure

anonymous · Answer

sure

anonymous · Answer

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (3x)4

anonymous · Answer

i got 12x^4

anonymous · Answer

is it $(3x)^4$ ?

anonymous · Answer

Yes sorry bout that

anonymous · Answer

no problem, just making sure
but your answer is not quite right

anonymous · Answer

$$(3x)^4=3^4x^4=81x^4$$

anonymous · Answer

you do not multiply 3 times 4
raise 3 to the fourth power
