Question

Is(2×3^2)^2 the same as (2)^2 × (3^2)^2?​

Answer 1

Yes I’m a 100% sure it is

Answer 2

No, doing the first problem using pemdas, you do 3^2 first to get 18 then square 18 getting 324. In the second problem, first you do 2^2 which is 4 then you multiply that by 9 because 3^2 is 9, which gives you 36 and 36^2 is 1296, so they are not the same.
