Question

Explain how to evaluate 34.

Answer 1

Answer:

Three to the fourth means multiply 3 together 4 times, so expanded form is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3. To evaluate the power, find the product of the factors in expanded form. 3 times 3 is 9, 9 times 3 is 27, and 27 times 3 is 81.

Answer 2

Answer:

${3}^{4} = 81$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate

${3}^{4}$

We have a power to evaluate.

The base is 3

The exponent is 4.

What this means it's to multiply the base by itself four times

${3}^{4} = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3$

${3}^{4} = 9 \times 9 = 81$

In general, if you have aⁿ , you multiply 'a' by itself n-times.
