Question

Your teacher asks the class to evaluate the expression (3³)¹. Your classmate gives an incorrect answer of 81. Evaluate the expression. Then find the likely error. **PLEASE FIND THE ERROR I DON'T NEED THE ANSWER I KNOW ITS 27**

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The most likely error is adding the exponents instead of multiplying them, that is

$(a^{m}) ^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$ , then $(3^{3}) ^{1}$ = $3^{3(1)}$ = 3³ = 27

However

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$ ← the student may have used this definition to obtain 81
