Do you have any ideas?
OpenStudy (leenathan):
nope

What do you know about exponents?
OpenStudy (leenathan):
is it is 6 little 2 that means 6*6 right?

Yea
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Please do some actual work and share your results here.
There are rules for exponentiation, such as what do do with the exponents when you multiply 6^3 and 6^5 (same base, 6).
OpenStudy (mathmale):
"is it is 6 little 2 that means 6*6 right?"
Again, we are discussing exponentiation and the rules that apply to exponentiation. That "little 2" is an exponent.
\[6^2=36,~yes.\]
OpenStudy (mathmale):
\[6^2 \] can also be written as 6^2; the result is the same.
OpenStudy (leenathan):
1296 *216
----------
7776

Now use your calculator
OpenStudy (leenathan):
1296*216=279936
OpenStudy (leenathan):
and /7776 =36
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Correct.
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Please look up "rules of exponents." Your result (above) is OK, but is more complicated because you didn't use rules of exponents.
The rule of exponents for multiplication is
\[a^w a^x = a ^{w+x}\]

which equals 6^2
OpenStudy (leenathan):
seems herd can you put numbers in?
OpenStudy (t-dawg02):
wait, was i right?
OpenStudy (leenathan):
yep
OpenStudy (t-dawg02):
wow

Yes, that is correct. But I'd like to see your actual work for verification.
Unfortunately, you must learn certain algebraic formulas (which are based on symbols, not on numbers). Rules of exponents are in that category.
OpenStudy (leenathan):
you just had to make it a different way dog
OpenStudy (t-dawg02):
oh okay
OpenStudy (leenathan):
i just started 8th grade idk much so yeh....
OpenStudy (mathmale):
One last time: my advice is that you look up "rules of exponents," copy them down, look at examples of their application, and then review them from time to time.

ok thanks!!!
OpenStudy (leenathan):
thanks (to the others)
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
But if you get stuck always remember that you can replace the symbols with numbers :-)
OpenStudy (leenathan):
ok
OpenStudy (leenathan):
do you guys have a peer answer acc?

nope
OpenStudy (leenathan):
oh @mathmale dude did the open stude makers make brainly and peer answer?
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Please note: OpenStudy rules forbid links to external web sites. If you want to use peeranswer, by all means go ahead, but don't post the peeranswer web site here.
OpenStudy (leenathan):
ok sorry
OpenStudy (mathmale):
All right. NO more mention of peeranswer or of other external sites.
OpenStudy came first, as far as I know. OpenStudy was purchased by Brainly, which did not develop OpenStudy.
