Answer:
3. He is incorrect because he should have multiplied the exponents.
Step-by-step explanation:
6∧5 × 6∧4 = 369 Incorrect
Correct: 6∧5 = 7776
6∧4 = 1296
7776 × 1296 = 10,077,696
1. He is not correct, therefore the first answer is wrong.
2. You do not subtract the exponents unless one of the exponents is negative and you have the same bases. You have the same bases in this equation, however, neither one of them are negative. Therefore, the second answer is wrong.
3. The third answer is correct because if you were adding the two terms together then you would add the exponents together then multiply the base as many times as needed. However, since you are multiplying the two terms together, you also need to multiply the exponents together. From there, you then multiply the terms and get your answer.
4. The fourth answer is also incorrect because you need to multiply the bases together in order to get a correct answer.
I hope this helps!
