Question

4. Rewrite each number in exponential notation using 3 as the base.

Answer 1

Answer:

$a.\ 9= 3^2\\\\b.\ 27 =3^3\\\\c.\ 81= 3^4\\\\d. 243= 3^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the that Exponential notation is in the form:

$b^n$

Where:

• "b" is the base and "n" is the exponent.
• "b" is multiplied by itself "n" times.

Therefore, given the numbers $9,27,81\ and\ 243$, you need to descompose them into their prime factors and then you must write them in exponential notation using 3 as the base.

Then:

$a.\ 9=3*3= 3^2\\\\b.\ 27 = 3*3*3=3^3\\\\c.\ 81 = 3*3*3*3 = 3^4\\\\d. 243 =3*3*3*3*3= 3^5$
