Question

I really need help with this question:

write 3^2 * 3^-3 * 3^6 as a single exponent.

Answer 1

So when you are multiplying and the numbers have a similar base (3 in this case) you can simply add up the exponents

Answer 2

What is the answer based on that information?

Answer 3

27^5

Umm no just leave the 3 there, don't multiply it, just bother with the exponents
