Question

.........simplify 3^2*3^5

Answer 1

Hello there!

`#3^2 * 3^5# #(3*3) * (3*3*3*3*3)# #(3*3*3*3*3*3*3)# #3^7# = #2187# I hope I helped :)`

Answer 2

Using order of operations, we can see we should first solve for the exponents, and then multiply the exponent values by each other.


3²×
`3^(5)`
9×243
2187

Another way to solve this is to add the exponents together and simply do
`3^(7)`. We can only do that in this case, however, because the values are being multiplied by each other.

Either way we solve, we will get 2187 as our final answer.
