<span>The number of ways to select one component from each supplier is 3*4*5 since you can choose one of three from A, in each case you can then choose 1 of 4 from B and lastly for each selection from A and B you have 5 possible choices for C.
After that you have 12-3=9 components left for choice of the fourth component to test. Thus there will be 3*4*5*9 different ways to choose at least one from each supplier.</span>
Well first you have to figure out what 25* 16 is, 400 and then you have to find what mulitplies to get 400 and adds up to get 40 and when you find the answer to that then you just GCF it.
Well not sure what you are asking, but If it is what I think it is, it would go like this:
2
(9^2)
Then the answer should be
9^4 since we multiply the exponents.
If you mean this...
3^2....It would be same as 3 x 3 which we should know is equal to nine.
Hope I helped! (Be sure to thank me!)
