Use the map below to answer the question.

A map shows the southeastern portion of the United States.One line shows De Soto's path as it relates to modern day states. He traveled up the gulf side of Florida and landed in Florida on May 25, 1539. He then traveled north into Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, west into Tennessee, then south into Alabama. He then traveled northwest into Mississippi and Arkansas, before heading back south along the western border of Mississippi. At the border between Mississippi and Louisiana, de Soto died in 1542. At the point where de Soto's path turns south in Arkansas, a line indicates that survivors took a path westward into Texas. At the point of de Soto's death, a line indicates that survivors took a path south through Louisiana and then along the coast in the gulf.

Purpose for writing
What is text organization?

The attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience

the method an author uses to present information in writing

the style in which an author is writing

the reason an author is writing
Text organization refers to the method an author uses to present information in writing. It refers to how the content is structured, such as using paragraphs, headings, or transitions to organize ideas and provide coherence to the text.
How does text organization help an author achieve the desired purpose?

The text structure allows an author to explain information in a formal way.

The text structure allows an author to present information in a way that supports an argument.

The text structure allows an author to avoid conveying a certain tone in the writing.

The text structure allows an author to have a specific point of view.
The text structure allows an author to present information in a way that supports an argument. By organizing their writing effectively, authors can arrange their supporting points, evidence, and logical flow in a manner that helps them convey their intended message and persuade readers towards their desired purpose.

Use the Power Rule of Exponents to simplify the expression (6^2)^4.
To simplify the expression (6^2)^4 using the Power Rule of Exponents, you multiply the exponents.

(6^2)^4 = 6^(2*4)

= 6^8
Use the Power Rule of Exponents to create a simplified equivalent expression of (12⋅12⋅12)⋅(12⋅12⋅12).
To simplify the expression (12⋅12⋅12)⋅(12⋅12⋅12) using the Power Rule of Exponents, we can combine the like terms and multiply the coefficients.

(12⋅12⋅12)⋅(12⋅12⋅12) = 12^3⋅12^3

= 12^(3+3)

= 12^6
What exponent would make the two expressions equivalent: (16x)6=(1618)?
To find the exponent that would make the two expressions equivalent, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

(16x)^6 = 16^(18)

Since the bases are the same, we can equate the exponents:

6 = 18

Solving for x, we find that the exponent that would make the two expressions equivalent is x = 3.
