Let's double-check the calculations. The expression is \(2 \times 3^6\). 1. First, calculate \(3^6\): \[ 3^6 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \] Breaking that down: - \(3^2 = 9\) - \(3^3 = 27\) - \(3^4 = 81\) - \(3^5 = 243\) - \(3^6 = 729\) So, \(3^6 = 729\). 2. Now multiply by \(2\): \[ 2 \times 729 = 1458 \] Your calculation of \(46656\) likely originates from \(6^6\) (which is \(6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 = 46656\)). So, to clarify: - \(3^6 = 729\) - \(2 \times 3^6 = 1458\) If you have any other calculations in mind or would like clarification on other items, feel free to ask!

It appears that you may have accidentally calculated \(6^6\) instead of \(3^6\). Let's clarify that: 1. **Calculating \(6^6\)**: \[ 6^6 = 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \] To break this down: - \(6^2 = 36\) - \(6^3 = 216\) - \(6^4 = 1296\) - \(6^5 = 7776\) - \(6^6 = 46656\) That is indeed how you would arrive at \(46656\). 2. **Calculating \(3^6\)**, as we previously discussed: \[ 3^6 = 729 \] So the distinction is crucial. If you were calculating \(3^6\) as part of \(2 \times 3^6\), you would get \(1458\), but if you calculated \(6^6\), you would get \(46656\). If you have any more questions or need further clarification, just let me know!

2x3^6

To simplify the expression \(2 \times 3^6\):

First, calculate \(3^6\):

\[ 3^6 = 729 \]

Now, multiply this result by \(2\):

\[ 2 \times 729 = 1458 \]

Thus, \(2 \times 3^6 = 1458\).

I got 46656

Let's double-check the calculations.

The expression is \(2 \times 3^6\).

First, calculate \(3^6\): \[ 3^6 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \] Breaking that down:
- \(3^2 = 9\)
- \(3^3 = 27\)
- \(3^4 = 81\)
- \(3^5 = 243\)
- \(3^6 = 729\)

So, \(3^6 = 729\).

Now multiply by \(2\): \[ 2 \times 729 = 1458 \]

Your calculation of \(46656\) likely originates from \(6^6\) (which is \(6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 = 46656\)).

So, to clarify:

\(3^6 = 729\)
\(2 \times 3^6 = 1458\)

If you have any other calculations in mind or would like clarification on other items, feel free to ask!

how did I get 46656

It appears that you may have accidentally calculated \(6^6\) instead of \(3^6\). Let's clarify that:

Calculating \(6^6\): \[ 6^6 = 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \] To break this down:
- \(6^2 = 36\)
- \(6^3 = 216\)
- \(6^4 = 1296\)
- \(6^5 = 7776\)
- \(6^6 = 46656\)

That is indeed how you would arrive at \(46656\).

Calculating \(3^6\), as we previously discussed: \[ 3^6 = 729 \]

So the distinction is crucial. If you were calculating \(3^6\) as part of \(2 \times 3^6\), you would get \(1458\), but if you calculated \(6^6\), you would get \(46656\).
