What does \(3^2\) actually mean? Like, how would you write it out as multiplication?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Do you mean 3^3 or 3^2 because the problem states 3^3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, either one. I'm trying to get you to think about exponents. :D

OpenStudy (dan815):

wat is an exponent

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Ok, so 3^2 is also known as 3*3 or three squared=9 And 3^3 is also known as 3*3*3 or three squred=27

OpenStudy (dan815):

ok now solve ur problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, you've got it. So what is \(3 \times 3^2\), really?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Sorry the last exponent was supposed to be 3.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\[3^{3}-3(3)^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question still is valid. What's \(3\times3^3\) actually mean?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I got the problem becuase I got confused that minus and minus=plus.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

But thanks for helping:) I appreciate it.

Ok!
