Question

Write in exponential notation. 3xy*3xy*3xy*3xy*3xy

Answer 1

Since there are 5 (3xy)s, you just write it as: (3xy)^5. Since it asks for exponential notation, I don't think you need to simplify that...

Answer 2

Note that each term is the same. In this case, you can 'simplify' it into a power sign.

(3xy)^5 will be your answer

(3xy)^5 = (3xy)(3xy)(3xy)(3xy)(3xy).

hope this helps
