When you are multiplying 2 numbers with exponents, you need to add the exponent. When you multiply an exponent with an exponent, you multiply them.
So,
(3^2 x 7^4) ^9
First multiply the base and add exponents = ( 21^6) ^9
= 21 ^6x9
21^54
The same rule applies for variables, just pretend there is an imaginary 1.

Answer:
- 1) y = 13.5x + 1
- 2) y = 12x + 4
- 3) Sam won the race
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Part 1</h3>
Sam's car is 1 ft in front of the start line and its speed is 13.5 ft/s.
<u>The distance after x seconds is:</u>
<h3>Part 2</h3>
Alice's car the speed 12 ft/s and after 3 seconds is 40 ft in front of the start line.
<u>The distance after x seconds is:</u>
- y = 12(x - 3) + 40 = 12x - 36 + 40 = 12x + 4
<h3>Part 3</h3>
<u>After 15 seconds the distance from the start line is:</u>
- Sam ⇒ y = 13.5*15 + 1 = 203.5 ft
- Alice ⇒ y = 12*15 + 4 = 184 ft
As we see Sam is further from the start line than Alice
