33+32
3 cubed plus 3 squared

3332
the fraction with numerator 3 cubed and denominator 3 squared

(3 superscript3) superscript2

Answer 1

To multiply expressions with the same base, you add the exponents. Therefore, the correct expression to multiply the exponents for \(3^3\) times \(3^2\) is:

\(3^{3+2}\) (which is equivalent to \(3^3 \cdot 3^2\))

So, although this exact notation isn't provided in your options, the closest interpretation that implies adding the exponents is the first option:

\(33 \cdot 32\) (3 cubed times 3 squared).

This means multiplying the expressions, which involves adding the exponents as per the rule.
