Question

Apply the Product Rule of Exponents to solve and simplify 33⋅32 as an equivalent expression.(1 point)

Answer 1

The Product Rule of Exponents states that when multiplying exponential expressions with the same base, you add the exponents.

Using this rule, we can simplify the expression 33⋅32 as follows:

Since the base is the same (3), we add the exponents:
33⋅32 = 3^(3+2) = 3^5= 243

So, 33⋅32 is equivalent to 243.
