Question

How do I answer this math problem?

Answer 1

When exponents are separated by a parenthesis it means you need to add them. Because the parenthesis is around the entire number then you raise everything inside the parenthesis to the outside exponent. Then anything raised by 0 as an exponent is automatically 1.


You think of this visually as 3a*3a*3a= 27a^9 is your answer
