Answered by GPT 3.5
To simplify the expression 3*8 using the product rule of exponents, you need to add the exponents since the bases are the same.

Thus, the simplified expression is 3^(1+3) = 3^4 = 81.

To simplify the expression 3*3 using the product rule of exponents, you again add the exponents since the bases are the same.

Thus, the simplified expression is 3^(1+1) = 3^2 = 9.
