There are (3^6)^2 ⋅ 3^0 candies in a store. What is the total number of candies in the store? (5 points)

Question

3^3

3^4

3^8

3^12

Answer 1

To find the total number of candies in the store, we can simplify the given expression:

(3^6)^2 ⋅ 3^0

Since any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, we can simplify further:

(3^6)^2 ⋅ 1

Now we can use the exponent rule for raising a power to another power:

3^(6*2) ⋅ 1

3^12 ⋅ 1

Therefore, the total number of candies in the store is 3^12.
