2 ways
zero product property
easy way
zero product
factor perfect square
m^2-3^2=0
(m-3)(m+3)=0
set each to zero
m-3=0
x=3
m+3=0
m=-3
m=-3 or 3
easy way
add 9 to both sides
m^2=9
sqrt both sides remember to take postive and negative roots
m=+/-3
m=-3 or 3
B is answer
Answer: a) 2092278989 b) 576, c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of students = 16
Number of desks = 16
a) How many days must pass before the class must repeat a seating arrangement?

If the number of rows = 4
b) How many seating arrangements are there that put Larry, Moe, Curly, and Shemp in the front seats?

c) How many seating arrangements are there that put Larry, Moe, Curly, and Shemp in the front seats?

Hence, a) 2092278989 b) 576, c) 
Given:
The expression is

To find:
The expression in repeated multiplication form and then write the expression as a power.
Solution:
We have,

The repeated multiplication form of this expression is
![=[(-8)\cdot (-8)\cdot (-8)]\cdot [(-8)\cdot (-8)\cdot (-8)\cdot (-8)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5B%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5D%5Ccdot%20%5B%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5D)

Clearly, (-8) is multiplied seven times by itself. So,

Therefore, the repeated multiplication form of the given expression is
and the expression as single power is
.
I think it is a D I'm not really sure
