Question

Simplify the expression. Write your answer using only positive exponents. Evaluate any numerical powers.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 9x⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

Use properties of exponents:

• $a^{b} a^{c} = a^{b+c}$, $(a^{b} ^)^{c} = a^{bc}$, $1/a^{-b} = a^{b}$

Simplify the given expression:

• 3⁴⋅x⋅(3/x²)⁻² =
• 3⁴·x·(3x⁻²)⁻² =
• 3⁴·x·(3⁻²)(x⁻²ˣ⁻²) =
• 3⁴⁻²·x¹⁺4 =
• 3²·x⁵ =
• 9x⁵
