Answer:
No, they are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the case of the first expression: x³ * x³ * x³, you will solve the power first, before multiplying the whole numbers.
However, in terms of the second one, you are multiplying the powers first, and then solving for the power.
Take for example, x = 2. Plug in 2 for x in the expressions given:
x³ * x³ * x³ = 2³ * 2³ * 2³ = 8 * 8 * 8 = 64 * 6 = 512
However,
2^(3 * 3 * 3) = 2^(27) = 134,217,728
