Question

Is the expression x3•x3•x3 equivalent to x3•3•3? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

\[x^3\times x^3\times x^3\] equivalent to \[(((x^3)^3)^3)\]

Answer 2

Help, I know that the second equation would net me with x^27, but the first would only be x^9 correct?

Answer 3

yup the first would give you x^9

Answer 4

I thought so, why is that? .-.

Answer 5

its one of the properties of exponents. If they have the same base which is "x " then you add the exponents. so you get 3+3+3 which is 9.

Answer 6

Okay thanks :)
