Question

Which expression is equivalent to 9 Superscript 5?
9 times 5
5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5
9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 9
9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5

Answer 1

The expression \(9^5\) means 9 multiplied by itself 5 times.

So the correct equivalent expression is:

**9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 9**, which can be written as \(9 \times 9 \times 9 \times 9 \times 9\).

Therefore, the options provided can be evaluated as follows:

1. **9 times 5** - This is not equivalent to \(9^5\).
2. **5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5** - This is not equivalent to \(9^5\).
3. **9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 9** - This is equivalent to \(9^5\).
4. **9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5 times 5** - This is not equivalent to \(9^5\).

Thus, the correct equivalent expression is:

**9 times 9 times 9 times 9 times 9** (Option 3).
