Question

Please help ASAP I’m confused!

Answer 1

Answer:

• 3⁴·3⁴
• 3⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to rewrite the power of a power two ways: as a product, and as a single power.

Exponents

An exponent tells you how many times a factor is repeated.

In the first expression, the exponent of 2 tells you the factor 3⁴ will be repeated 2 times in the product:

  3⁴·3⁴

Each of the exponents of 4 tell you the factor 3 is repeated 4 times in the product:

  (3·3·3·3)·(3·3·3·3)

To write this as a single power of 3, you must recognize that the factor 3 is repeated 4+4=8 times in the product. The power of 3 you want is ...

  3⁸
