Answer:
3⁷
Step-by-step explanation:
it's kinda messy but my step by step is in the picture. practically when you "multiply" an exponent (as long as they have the same base number) with another like 3⁴×3⁵ or (3⁴)⁵ you add the exponents together so you'd get 3⁴×3⁵=3⁹
when dividing an exponent by another exponent (with again, the same base number) you subtract the exponents like this: 3⁶÷3² or 3⁶/3² would equal 3⁴
Answer:
x=6/cos(72) is the exact answer.

Soh Cah Toa is an abbreviation used to help remember the trigonometric ratios.
We see we have the angle measurement 72 degrees given at the bottom. I'm going to label my sides with respect to that angle.
The hypotenuse is x.
The adjacent is 6.
We don't have anything about the opposite side but we don't need it to find x.
So anyways we have this:
The hypotenuse is x and
the adjacent is 6.
If you look at the ratios we want to use cosine.
or
We are going to cross multiply.
x cos(72)=1 (6)
cos(72) * x=6
Now we are going to divide both sides by cos(72) giving us:
x=6/cos(72)
x=6/cos(72) is the exact answer.
Let's put it into our calculator now:
