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.
Question
The voyage of Hernando de Soto covered a large area. What is the correct chronological order for the places de Soto visited on his travels?

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.

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
(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
(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.
(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.
