i know but that ont what the school is saying heres my choices 3^35 , 3^12, 139 or 9

jdoe0001 · Answer

ahemm exponentialized  then.... not sure if one could call that "simplified" though

anonymous · Answer

thats the question exactly

anonymous · Answer

Well 3^35 is 50031545098999707, 3^12 is 531441 and then there is 139 and 9. None of those equal 3735, so the answer is None of the Above...

i wonder if they meant maybe |dw:1412463730633:dw| this maybe it way a typo sometimes that happens would any of the choices that i wrote be correct if it is wrote out that way

jdoe0001 · Answer

$\bf 3735\implies 3\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 83({\color{brown}{ \textit{prime number}}})$   so once you get a prime there....  no dice on getting any exponentialized version of factors, let alone with base of "3"
