To condense the expression \(3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3\) using exponents, we can express it as:
\[
3^5
\]
Now, let's compute \(3^5\):
\[
3^5 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3
\]
Calculating step-by-step:
1. \(3 \times 3 = 9\)
2. \(9 \times 3 = 27\)
3. \(27 \times 3 = 81\)
4. \(81 \times 3 = 243\)
Thus, the final answer is:
\[
3^5 = 243
\]
In summary, the condensed expression is \(3^5\), and the full computed answer is \(243\).
