Question

Use properties of exponents to simplify the given expression. First express the answer in exponential form. Then evaluate the expression.


3^2 3^3=

Answer 1

Using the properties of exponents, when we multiply two exponential expressions with the same base, we add the exponents:

3^2 * 3^3 = 3^(2+3)

Now add the exponents:

3^5

Now evaluate the expression:

3^5 = 243

So, 3^2 * 3^3 = 243.
